[DJRUDOGGZ]

Chef John is the next guy fieri, Food Network grab this guy, he's the next food network sensation .

[RasheemH]

Butter and cream makes this so much better :D

[superblast211]

how did i get here

[tiptopluongo]

The hardest thing about cooking for a pot luck? Getting invited to one. LOL you make my day, chef John!

[1989clamchowder]

Chef John, you made your cookings look so good and easy on all your videos. You should have been a math/science teacher.

[annieB5575]

Sweet recipe. Im gonna do this dish but with vegetarian bacon.

[Calabarhottie13]

not enough bacon

[Forsaken6994]

Thanks man it tasted great :D

[jaelchildress]

looks beautiful!!

[thefawkinman]

Im not the fawkinman... YOU ARE!!!

[YouCryAlot]

If I make this...and I manage to get invited.. I am sure I will get invited back. I ousted myself with the Lasagna I made at the last one.

[AmandaStem]

lets just say after my potluck event there were not leftovers. this stuff is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[sabzilicious]

what can be used instead of bacon? :)

[illmaticfiend]

@sabzilicious turkey bacon

[garyfallo1]

I love when Chef John says: HELLLOOOOO! I think he is brilliant!!!!

[Melonhipster]

O A O WHY AM I WATCHING THIS WHEN IM HUNGRY?!

[rossyboy1081]

you put salt in the water, then you season the potatoes with salt and then you add bacon and cheese which already has salt in it. Holy fuck.

[summ83]

@rossyboy1081 potatoes absorb and need alot of salt. plus you can always do it to your own taste.

[anailelianacarbajal]

Why cook the potatoes any longer in the oven if they're fully cooked? I'm talking about what you said for macaroni and cheese exactly! Don't the dishes get overcooked? I'm Mexican and I really don't know this. Does it give it a different flavor? Bc you're not finishing it off in the oven or anything...

[rossyboy1081]

@anailelianacarbajal Your not really cooking it in the oven, you're only browning the top and keeping it piping hot in the center. It will take a long time for the heat to cook the inside but by the time it does cook the inside, then the outside will already be burnt .

[chrissyski925]

Thank you!

[XxsoulermachinaxX]

i suck at cooking......

[appleyish]

chef john please adopt me.pleeeeeeeease



[sylvkat]

how many times did i promise to myself not to watch any of the Chef John's videos on an empty stomach...sigh...

[Cajmonet1]

i made this and it was so good ty for the recipe[=

[Cajmonet1]

omg i am so gonna make this it looks yummie

[YoungRapper700]

This guy = FORMAL EPIC MEAL TIME

[croshayallday]

I think I gained two pounds on each butt-cheek just watching this!

This is one of those comfort recipes that you would like to take a swim in...

O-YUM!!!

[hdvija]

can i be ur room mate?

[guthro123]

Watching this as I eat my pizza rolls..

[funty3000]

toooooo much cheese dude!

[naierer]

@funty3000 There's no such thing as too much cheese.

[Moontess]

Man, this is such a winter comfort food. ^_^ Too bad it's summer now for me.

[TheCocotoo]

@tropicalthunder What the Hell is wrong with you! That wasn't even funny. Why are you even watching this if you don't like it, how about you stick it where th sun don't shine! Good riddens my friend! ;) p.s. I'm jk.

[loveykaya]

@tropicalthunder232 piece if shit...????? how stupid are you??? Americans know how to make anything and everything and turn things around and make differnet things?? you must be the piece of shit!!

[VictoryAsIAm]

Well, going to a potluck isn't difficult for me. My family is so large, when we get together, the only way we can feed ourselves is to bring a dish. Ah, but this is a wonderfully simple idea! I'll definitely make it for the next get-together.

[iAmDrPepperDude]

that would be awesome with some baked beans!!!

[autumnjrain]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[missgoddessoflove]

u shuda ate the bacon!!! LOL

[1989clamchowder]

@missgoddessoflove I was thinking about the same thing..LOL!

[CynthiaLou16]

I'm Sooo going to make this for my potluck;)

[dizzyicecubez]

Just made this!! Thanks for posting

[spwb2k]

on cold windy fall afternoons with football on and a fire going

i like to do a version of this by adding a pound of seasoned ground beef or turkey

and a saute of corn onions and bell peppers.

it gives the dish an extra dose of comfort food heft.

[TheCuteMoi]

am gonna cook that!

[Acherus1432]

speaking of sour cream, can we use creme fraiche instead?

[Acherus1432]

speaking of sour creme, can we use creme fraiche instead?

[gpnmxtx]

Type MYPRIZE instead of YOU in youtube and hit enter

[Shreelar]

I don't mash the potatoes, just add a bit of butter, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and a lot of grated cheddar cheese over that. I serve sour cream on the side, mostly because daddy doesn't like sour cream. It's almost as popular as my deviled eggs.

Carnation Evap Milk has CARRAGEENAN in it,so I can't tolerate it. Not everyone is sensitive to it, but if someone can't figure out what's triggering their IBS, try a carrageenan rule out, then challenge yourself.

[AncientBoneCrusher]

"You know I like my nooks and my crannies.". Coolest guy ever? Yes.

[aicka29]

someday i will be the next chef john :P

hehe love it

[candi3xcraz3x]

can i use those squared cheese? sandwich cheese?

[steven19704]

just got done enjoyin this. its fucking amazing. 

[DznyAddict]

I'm making this tonight!

[GTVEVEMAN]

Yummy

[stop08it]

just imagining this sitting in my body and fermenting...but as long as it tastes good! yum!

[barsa527]

@stop08it

smelly farts

[larry89]

cheese, bacon, potatoes... o_o

[ken9279]

I made this for a 2010 Christmas party and everyone really enjoyed this dish. The only downside was that I didn't make enough and some people were not able to enjoy this really simple yummy recipe. Thanks Chef John

[DanceSexMusicHipHop]

i just drooled..

[YouPastDue]

i made this for a potluck omg when i made it i wanted to eat it right on the spot lol

[leostar18]

GAWDDD I'm hungry!

[drishy94303]

...ahem... except for the cheese and bacon... haha i love it!

[cowcreamer]

You can do anything with this as long as the basics are taken into consideration. You can use anything, yogurt or goats cheese in place of sour cream. If you use goats cheese, mix a little water with it to make the consistency of sour cream.

[xkidrobot]

LOL i would so much more bacon :3 LOL but it looks so good none the less. has three things i cant live without - potatoes, cheese, and meat

[HALLSYSKITCHEN]

that made my tummy grumble..thumbs up

[sweetbarries]

if you cook for me i sear im gunna gian 300 pounds

[crazypoulada]

I can't find sour cream. Can i use yogurt?

[NATHANNARCISSIST1]

@crazypoulada hell no

[gaudetjaja]

Chef John, that is NOT the right way to cook potatoes. You lose a lot of taste and nutrients this way, as well as using up too much energy. Here's the proper way to do it.

1. skin, cut in equal size, wash.

2. put only a little bit of water with the potatoes, so that they are just/just not covered with water. also put some salt.

3. boil them, WITH LID ON!

4. if you added just the right amount of water, when they're done you don't have to drain. otherwise, drain the small amount of water.

[sladiewolf]

That is so cool! Also I love your voice xD. Thank you for the recipe and video, it's so nice seeing how things are created, not just a recipe.

[pammturner]

WOW!!!! I am glad i am a body coach. I am going to make this! Good thing I wear a body magic!!

[fmbighair]

can you use red potatoes for this WITH the skin on...how about regular milk instead of evaporated? Loved your roasted Julia chicken vid, hope to hear from ya, thanks!

[gaudetjaja]

@fmbighair ? how are you going to make mashed potatoes with the skin? it would turn into a stringy mess with unfavorable texture.

[fmbighair]

@gaudetjaja your right, i tried it and the skin tasted kinda sour, so next time I will peel it off.

[gaudetjaja]

@fmbighair well thanks for posting about it here so others know that it's better to peel them.

I like unpeeled potatoes when they're good quality, but you need to boil them whole (in only a bit of water, with lid on). This way, the skin contains nutrients and flavor.

Also good is wrapping them and bake in the oven/microwave/barbecue.

[msfashionlover]

@fmbighair they probly wont be as creamy and if you dont want to peel potatoes with a knife, cook them first and then, with your hands, peel them and the skin should come right off

[shiroberry14]

I would invite you to a potluck! But you'd have to make everything.... and it wouldn't be a potluck.....

but it would be delicious xD

[BettinaBalser]

*SLURP*

Am making tonight as a side dish...love your work, thank you so much for posting your wonderful clips :)

[LMN1968]

I'll be making this, SOON. 

[pnxxwarrior1]

thats mash pottato too lol

[wheresmylife]

Mmmm.... twice baked potatoes! I actually make this! HUGE fan of evaporated milk and use it for everything. In my recipe, I add roasted cloves of garlic and corn. Always goes over well!

[rauxiegurl]

can you use something other than bacon?

[fizzletto3]

I quote "no butter, no cream" -- didn't you put sour cream in?

[bransonHO]

@fizzletto3 specifying not so heavy ingredients(fating)

[wordoftruth7]

oh my gosh................ i am going to make this and the candy bacon one.

[ParkParks93]

I get so hungry watching these!! I really want chicken wings. And the guy's voice is so awesome :)

[WanderingGnome]

I can easily veganize this recipe. I'll use soy creamer, smart bacon or Bacos and Daiya cheese.

I freaking love your vlogs!

[moonbeams90]

MMMMMMMMMM so bomb

[pakmanmanc]

i make a similar version of this but not with carnation milk, just whole milk, add some jalepeno's ontop with the cheese and bacon!! yum yum

[stooge81]

very nice. for as delicious as it looks, would i be out of line suggesting a side of angioplasty with that dish?

[powerpc127]

1:04 lol that's my kind of exercise... Pathetic isn't it?

[seventhsheaven]

Am I the only person in the world who loves baked potato skin? I think it's the best part!

[CamaroGirl666]

you are awesome!!! i just can't keep favoring your vids o_O

[Amberzrulz]

Looks likes Grandmas D:

[CAZPERsayz]

dude your awesome when i get rich im gonna hire you

AWESOME VID DUDE

[sub0414]

@CAZPERsayz

stand in the line dude! and wait for your turn to hire him...

[Lex1999to2011]

@CAZPERsayz and @qhoa You guys are so funny but, I also do agree with you those mash potatoes look deluctable.LOL! delicioso!:)

[atomicsoda88]

OH MAn!!

[mssunshine66]

think i would like just a touch of sour cream....but i will try it without first

[hajima45]

this is absolutely amazing!!! gotta try this one!!! thanks! :)

[sgtimafilipino]

would you bake it with foil on top or would it make the potatoes soggy?

[Falzar2142]

delicious

[kukuness]

I made this. It was awesome! I added sour cream on top and it was delicious. Thanks!

[kokoa2008]

could you cheat and use instant mashed potatoes or the frozen ones

[gaudetjaja]

@kokoa2008 instant mashed potatoes taste really bad in comparison to real mashed potatoes, but it's your choice

[punk0906]

my sister made this for christmas dinner. EVERYONE LOVED IT INCLUDING ME! Thx!

[lily0ness]

It needs sour cream!! :P

[msfashionlover]

@lily0ness he did put sour cream

[RockyWhyNot]

You're cute & funny...

[goddesselppy]

I used to make this kind of thing all the time! I used to add a packet of the ranch dip mix when mashing too, and that gave it a nice flavour. =)

[eagertolearn2]

Mmmmmmm. No exaggeration. My mouth watered profusely at the end. Kinda like when you first pop a piece of Bubblicious in your mouth.

[linkinparkingra]

What's a potluck??

[koidaboi]

@linkinparkingra

a type of gathering where everyone participate in bringing a type of dish to eat

[SwagBucksTutsnTips]

FAIL!

[HighVoltage963]

I love the skin >_>

[toroishan]

Why evaporated milk instead of regular milk or heavy cream? thanks!!!

[AboDi22lalala]

Bon Appetit !

[y35n00b5]

your easiest recipes are always my fav..... =D

[MsFoodlover123]

great! Your breads making ways are cool. I tried and they are just so delicious that we ever had. Thank you so much!

BTW,can you tell me what brand is your potato mash and where to buy? I would like to have one. It seems very useful! thank you very much!

[justjeanny]

you're so funny! i love watching your videos, even if i wouldn't make the dish hehe. but i will make this!

[SuperWrestlingNews]

you have no idea how much more bacon and cheese i would use in mine probably a cup more cheese and like 3 or 4 more pieces bacon in mine

[jeffzahnd]

is it must me or do thesse movies take forever to dl and watch on youtube? I just put mine in the oven and forgot how long, i think it was 30-40 min but I think they are going to be done by the time the video dls to watch it :P cable internet...come on!

[qhoa1385]

How much do you charge for one meal?? :D

I'd love you to be my cook for the rest of my life :P

[vivanetx]

@qhoa1385 this

[xjayntee]

@qhoa1385 life must be short for you if your only going to eat one meal for the rest of your life..

[BellaOfBacardi]

My mouth watered just looking at 0:15.

[yojomo]

I've never noticed your lisp before Chef John

[iSAM34]

omgggg looks so yummmmmy

[Nicholas4174]

yummy

[primate924]

did john get a sponsorship from Carnation?

[westislandkev]

Has to be, it's so blatant, I mean I would expect him to share original recipes from his experience in cooking or more generic stuff, not "Carnation" ad nauseum.

[duckmanx88]

no he uses kraft products and nestle products like normal Americans.

[windwalker535]

I've got a ham for thanksgiving and I do not know how to cook it? Can you please make a video about it?

[kitchen1626]

Do you have any suggestions for a vegetarian option? What could I substitute the bacon with?

[Vikkivvy]

damn i'm gonna be so fat from keep on watching your yummy videos

XD

[JimmyChiffels]

( The Unhealthy option)

lol try putting Milk,sourcream and butter together than whisk it.

then add it instead of the carnation if you don't have evaporated milk.

[WoundedEgo]

Does it matter what kind of potato you use?

[InfiniteCharacters]

No. Whatever you like will work as long as you keep the measurements the same

[oekakinin]

Idaho works best actually. Each kind of potato has a different starch content.

[fyshy1]

Yum! Try boiling the potatoes with a medium/small peeled whole onion. discard the onion when potatoes are cooked. Makes for another dimension to this dish. I love it!

[b33p]

Note: This video was sponsored by Carnation! o.0! Fair play, Chef John..might try this. Do we get Carnation in Ireland??

[InfiniteCharacters]

It wasn't spondered by Carnation.....he just used a recipe from either the Carnation website/cookbook/ off of a can of carnation.

[b33p]

Read the description.

[jahlove111]

loooove it

[meishappie]

IM SO HUNGRY

[HollyTheFireNinja]

I wonder why it has to be baked twice?

Anyway, I find that crispy bacon, when mixed in the mashed potatoes lose a bit of the crispiness, I used to fry bacon that is just cooked and mix them in my taters, but I think I'll add crispy bacon on top in the future.

Thanks Chef John!

[Venatrix99]

It's baked twice so the cheese melts (on top)

[InfiniteCharacters]

He says its just to melt the cheese on the top of the casserole

[orrin2002]

i would have put the bacon fat in the potatoes.

[wert019]

@orrin2002 you r going to die soon if thats how you eat

[daligoddess2006]

Yummylicious!

[Juberoos]

you could make it more "rustic" by using the delicious and healthy skins :)

[Watchaknow702]

now i know what im making as a side for thanksgiving

[OpeningSky]

I <3 watching these videos.

[jesusmessanger]

wheres the GARLIC at !!!!!!!!!

[Robinson2213]

How would it taste WITHOUT Bacon??

LOL...thats precious.

[justdgafit]

haha

[biggieshot2pac]

How would it taste without the bacon?

[unknownclips]

I just love the comments. I dont cook a lot.

[ashleigh25011]

Wow, I just want to eat the video.

[grassburner]

Chef John, You are the "Pot-Luck Potentate"!

The Count-Casserole of Taterville!

The Master-Masher of Spudland!

I am at your baconed call, your Mashesty!

Allright, I'll stop. Thanks for another great recipe.

[Dauphinplayer]

chef john......is the pastamancer.

[meishappie]

hahaha! LOL

[Octahoney]

This is by far the best recipe channel on YouTube.

That looked soooo good, Chef John!

[AshlynKanuha]

thank you Chef John

[nanefy]

Annoying skin!!!! No way - baked potato skins (if baked properly) are the BEST part of the potato, especially if you've had the filling with butter and cheese, so that there is still some butter and cheese left of the plate!! omg, I am so hungry for a baked potato now!

[JohnJuan128]

I love mashed tatters!!!!

[golddigger0325]

YUUM but it doesnt seem so figure friendly!

[Furdana]

:-( *sits here with stupid, disgusting prefab pizza*

*sigh* I wish my mom made that for me.

[rainbowgorilla]

Chef John.. I absolutely love watching your videos.. you're so entertaining! x

[nana0701]

i will be nice with bread crumb

[Manos723]

you should be nice with all your ingredients

[rainbowgorilla]

haha

[LoneStarPatriot]

I'm going to rock this recipe hard for thanksgiving..thanks guy

[missfoxxxxxxx]

I wish Chef John lived with me :( But, I would probably weigh 400 pounds!

[JonesAusmOsten]

u must stamp the potatoes , i think !

if u use a mixer the potato starch will go out

sry for bad english :P hope u can understand it

[cozzyk]

Looks wonderful.

[daiser720]

haha, not overly fatty, SOLD!

[HeavenlyMakeUp]

we have a potluck in a couple weeks at work. this may be my contribution. yummy!!
