[alsuagarful]

chef john you are the man

[imchellemarie]

Wellll...as long as I owe you...I'll boil the spuds :)

[totopoo123]

"my wife was making a cherry thing" xD real precise

[EncoreDressage656]

My grandma does this all the time! I end up eating most of them... Before dinner. Yum yum yum!

[Fadeypoo]

Good way to do roasties.

I then love cutting mine up, adding butter and a nice big splash of lea & perrins worc sauce. Mmmmmmm.

[oxygen63]

Great recipe ! It makes the potatoes moist and cirspy at the same time ! sort of like heathy fries :) It is so much better then just throwing raw potatoes in the oven - then they do get crispy but they are too dry !

[IsterichkaElliot]

thanks to your videos man my stomach started to hurt. have to go check if I have any leftovers in the fridge. and it's 3 in the morning.

[ohmysweetnurse]

"A cherry thing" Haha

[inept0]

I do this now when ever I boil potatoes. A few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, smashed garlic cloves and some bay leaves. The potatoes come out nicely seasoned with a subtle herb and garlic flavor.

[Nhan826]

Hey chef John! Have you ever thought about making an iPad app?

[sweetovivi]

@Nhan826 ya! thats a good idea

[random1ty]

When I saw you hitting the rosemary I was like: NO! he's bruising it! But then you said you were supposed to and I was like, Ahhhh

[HeyLookItsAmy]

i have to marry this man so he makes me food for the rest of my life

[mikitavi]

That cherry thing looked good...

[EdjeBos]

'You owe me one.' Funny. :)

[Nike10Soccer787]

[EvanC0912]

[666HailSatan420]

[tinalineage92]

[elfboychan]

17 dislikes.. ? Forever confused.

[djamorpheus]

17 people have rice and pasta stuck up their ... you know where

[djamorpheus]

Chef, you should try this recipe that is extremely popular in Ukraine, my family and i have been making it for as long as i can remember... Boil new harvest baby potatoes, strain, dump a generous amount of butter on them and freshly chopped dill, salt and pepper... best thing ever

[USFA45LC]

This, I think, I can handle.

[LunaAumento]

If you soak them in any water for a couple of minutes. You do not have to boil.

[microdeluxe]

@LunaAumento

exactly.

It's actually useless to boil them before.^^

[pxavier76]

nice

[SomeKnowsLikes]

i did those for a while ago!

it was like having a lots of mini baked potatos!

i think i ate to much of them... my stomach still hurts :D

but so worth it!

[rukya88]

I feel like cooking:))



[malsolv]

I wish i had a oven! lolz

[catholicshiksa]

I made these yesterday and today. Oh my gosh, they were soooooo good - crispy on the outside and little pockets of potatoey goodness on the inside! Thanks Chef John!

For breakfast, I like cooking down some chopped up bacon and then finishing par-boiled red potatoes in the bacon fat with whatever seasonings are available, like generic dried italian herbs or cajun seasoning. Top it with a fried egg or two and you've got a great hangover breakfast.

[milliniumljh]

What is my food wish? Umm... let see:

I wish my potatoes will cook themselves and all i need to do is just eat them(or maybe let them eat themselves so i don't have to eat them).

[kiminokami]

@milliniumljh cooking makes me feel good. Why leave it to someone else?

[simonxslade]

POTATOES!



[FlowersInHisHair]

@simonxslade Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

[kathbiralli]

[nameofthepen]

Ads on your vids now? No way to opt out? Have to unsub. What a drag. :-(

[jas68maro]

@nameofthepen awww poor lil baby cant sit thru a 15sec Ad. might as well just delete ur youtube profile and never come back to the site while youre at it!!

[razaviknows]

@nameofthepen you crack head the ads dont come from him jesus lord whata douche.

[nameofthepen]

@razaviknows - Hey, my brain-dead, douche-needing-friend. Partners negotiate contracts with Google, and get $ for ads. I don't mind click ads, but I hate ads embedded at the beginnings of videos. The ad I was complaining about was one of those.

But, thanks to your trolling 1/2-year later, I'm now re-subbed. Because, if I didn't come over here to retort to you, I would never have found out that somehow, the ad is gone now, and Chef John is not using them. :-)

[razaviknows]

@nameofthepen ok bud thats why i see ads on random ass vids partners my ass wtf i can watch twenty vids of his at a time until an add pops up im pretty sure its random. freckle fuck

[nameofthepen]

@razaviknows - lol. You have a real way with words. ;-))

[razaviknows]

@nameofthepen lol seriously everyone says i have the best curse-combos :P anyway, i guess i didnt need to call you a crack douche haha

[nameofthepen]

@razaviknows - no problemo. All's good that ends good.  Peace/out. :-)

[raymondjean]

i like how the way you say it... POTAYTHAS!

[MissGioggina]

Thanks to you my fiancé is preparing the dinner! :O I can not believe that!

[BH206L3]

Man I thought I knew how to do Oven Roasted Potatoes one of my favorite things on earth, I like this. Going to do it that way the next time I made them. Thank you for the cooking lesson Chief John.!!

[allgoldenweek]

I am frggin hungry its 4am in the morning ~~~

[yaxxee]

6 people think potatoes have feelings

[angusMCjamison]

@yaxxee potatoes do have feelings, and they feel great in this dish :)

[DuckMySickLOL]

@yaxxee PLEASE STOP POTATOE CRUELTY

[sweetbarries]

i think the 6 ppl that dislike it is because they were really hungry

[cellopwns]

She puts butter between them on the oven though.

Love ur food. (I was joking about hating you, but I wish I could cook like you)

[tiingg91]

@karasuma87 non of your business..SO YOU STFU

[AutomatedCritic]

when do we get a video from mrs chef john, like her pie thing

[LimeGirl08]

Hi Chef John, I want to tell you that I prepared your recipe 4 times in 2 days. The first time as a test and my boyfriend loved them so much I prepared another batch. The next day I had people over for a BBQ and made 2 batches. People loved them and they are so simple and delicious. Thank you! :)

[gapvicky]

@LimeGirl08 haha it also happens to me all the time. i'll make something of Chef johns and first my boyfriends will love it then my roommate and them im stuck making it all week till we get bored of it and move on to the next video :)

[chopin65]

@gapvicky LOL. Make them help you! The trick is not to get spotted in the kitchen. If the herd sees you there they put two and two together.

[Candiceseesu]

so its really late at night and now i wanting roast potatoes lol looks so good am going to cok them tommorow night thanx for sharing

[harmonem]

I made these last night. They went a lot further than full-sized baked potatoes and were tasty and a lot healthier than loading a potato with creams or butter. We had them with burgers and with a little ketchup, but they tasted fantastic with nothing on them- way better than french fries!!

[xINVISIGOTHx]

those looks SOOO good. but then again, ALL POTATOES ARE GOOD

[16181663]

:)...i like it!

[gadgetnoob]

I LOVE roasted potatoes. What I usually do is I mix them potatoes with some crushed garlic, thym, sea salt, black pepper, and olive oil. They turn quite delicious. But, this technique seems worth a try.

Thanks, chef. :}

[Liakos256]

My goodness this was fantastic chef john!
