[Dark0Malkavian]

@metademetra Same here lol I love smooth potatoes but that little chunk here and there makes life worth living <3

[TheLoyalOfficer]

Hey chef John:

Would it be heresy to add some vegetables here? Maybe some onions, mushroom and green peppers?

[briannwo1900]

about how much salt/pepper and paprika should you use? 

[sgonged]

I made this this weekend. Total cost was about $10 for everything. It makes enough for 8 people. It is really not that expensive.

[Nomorelittle]

[briannwo1900]

About how long do you boil the potatoes.

[JessicaPersonalChef]

Chef John., I am SO SO happy for you! Your food is delicious, you have such a talent for Youtube videos. Don't ever go to Food Network, you are WAY too talented and good for that. Have a beautiful holiday season!

[EvanC0912]

when will chef john open his own restaurant???

[ryotaMichiro]

look at those tasty crispy crust.

lets put some bacon on this shit.

then pour in some four loko.

fucking smart.

[jbaby007]

Umm why didn't I find this channel sooner? I've been suffering for hours upon hours, days upon days, trying to figure out something delicious to cook for dinner. Endlessly surfing the web for ideas everyday, and I just stumble upon this channel. A real person, making real food, with simple ingredients, who can explain EVERYTHING CLEARLY under 10 minutes.

Thank you, subbed.

[CreativeStarlet13]

Nice spoon you have there:)

[theflamingjamiesan]

At 4:46 I tried to bite my computer screen.

[mryungtalentedDJQ8]

@theflamingjamiesan wow , i just got finishing doing that

[Alancray126]

@theflamingjamiesan if only youtube has a 3D effect lol

[Brendster26]

@theflamingjamiesan lol

[Stereotypeblackguy]

Chef John. I made this on Thanksgiving. My Family and Friends Loved it so much that I almost got killed to make another batch. lol. If you see my family Run don't aSK Questions Just run

[theMISSIDGAF]

i made this for thanksgiving dinner and my family loves it! they cleaned the whole dish! thanks chef john! i told them i got the recipe from you. lol!

[WinTheNorth]

I've never gotten why people use unsalted butter just to salt the food later.

[chuchuchuchia]

"Not all lumps are created equally" LOL man

[Nushia180]

Yeah, there's a lot of butter

[oLynxXo]

I love lumbs in my mashed potatoes! It gives it some nice texture and is one more reason not to buy the powder stuff!

[nikileeh]

I'm eating a banana:(

[babojangiiToT]

i'm starting to see a trend here... marscarpone cheese... and I love it *_* <3

[aznsorawarrior]

question do we need to replace the milk for those that are lactose intolerant or wut? i'm new to baking/american food. kinda grew in asian food only environment

[kaychikybabexo]

excuse me, im just wondering is there another name for mascarpone which is used in aus? and also what do they call cayenne in aus?

because i cant find either of them

[sunriseinaries1]

@kaychikybabexo Of course you can get mascarpone and cayenne in Australia! I live here, and I have both in the kitchen right now! Mascarpone should be in the dairy section of the supermarket with things like cream cheese, and cayenne is in the spices section :)

[GoodPig42]

I Love your videos! You are very entertaining and easy to follow. I am making my first Thanksgiving Dinner on my own ( a week late do to working Black Friday) Thanks to you! I Have already made the Green Bean Casserole which was a huge hit! Thank you so much! 

[xasiafacex]

Husband and I made these for a potluck, our side dish sorta stole the show O________O"

[ataraxiaism]

If I don't own a big baking oven, will this be okay with small toaster oven, set it to 20 mins?

[Notmytoe]

A good replacement for mascarpone (1/2 cup):

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup cream cheese

Mix everything together. Mascarpone probably tastes better, but this is much cheaper and not very different in taste.

[muncher541]

@Notmytoe Mascarpone doesn't taste like anything. It's used for the texture. It kind of tastes like... tasteless cream cheese lol.

[vesa87]

@Notmytoe how expensive is mascarpone then? its not that expensive in my country

[Notmytoe]

@vesa87 the cost of living where I live is pretty high, so I think one 1.5cup of macarpone is close to $10

[vesa87]

@Notmytoe wow thats really expensive, but since everything here is in grams, I dont know how much a cup is, sorry

[GellyRolll]

@Notmytoe THANKYOU!!!

[TheOkami1113]

I really wish there were more delicious recipes (emphasis on 'delicious') that were traditional yet modern. Appealing, but not pretentious. Puree this. Butternut brandy sorbet that. What the hell is a lamb braised in pomegranate juice? Does EVERYBODY live near a local market in Paris or some stick-up-the-ass carniceria or market? I wish recipes would become a little more mundane, and that we could kick out the gross traditions.

[TheViciousVendetta]

@TheOkami1113 No offense but, wtf? I mean, I have a hard time finding some of these ingredients, but they're all worth it in the end for a meal that's a little bit out of the ordinary and not just a little bit amazing. And some traditions need to stay man, because they're a sign of culture and history!

[TheOkami1113]

@TheViciousVendetta I respect your point, but I don't think you understood mine. And maybe I didn't clarify it, anyway. I live in Chicago. South Chicago. That means the most exotic food we have here is probably a mango. And yes, SOME traditions need to stay. Turkey, irreplaceable. Mashed potatoes, of course. Beets? Really? And the adulterated corn mush? Yuck. They can go. Now CHRISTMAS time--HO HO HO!

[TheViciousVendetta]

@TheOkami1113 And I do see your point too. I would love for there to be recipes that I could make at home without having to scour the high class supermarkets.

[TheOkami1113]

@TheViciousVendetta That's all. :) Oh, and those potatoes look damn awesome!

[xasiafacex]

@TheViciousVendetta Awesome response! Not to mention.. its potatoes and cheese... cman! you can find that anywhere :T

[TheViciousVendetta]

@xasiafacex loll yeah, but the first time I heard of Mascarpone I was like... is that a holiday in an exotic country or something? HAHA ignorance

[Seabluemermaid]

I made these for our family for Thanksgiving. Making them the night before made my life easier the next day. Even better, they were a HIT with everybody. Thank you, Chef John, for the fabulous recipe!

[Tien342]

can I leave the skin on when I do the recipe

[MrAznobama]

@Tien342 This is coming from my experience, the skin will leave a very rubbery and waxy texture. 

[SuzieLady]

Why do I watch Chef John vids when I am hungry!???? My stomach has now started growling....

Lovely potatoe!!!!!!!!

[TheEvilerinrose]

I made these for Thanksgiving and in turn, I looked like a total rock star. Thanks, Chef John! You're the best!

[calebthellama]

WHA- :O you didn't do the Ollll' Tapa Tapa..... O.o dreams... crushed.

[BBLove247]

Darn it. Now I'm hungry

[muncher541]

Omfg I made this and it was SO GOOD. My aunt made these nasty cheese scalloped potatoes and we had a little... Friendly competition to see who's potatoes were the best. Of course, mine won ;) Thank you so much Chef John!

[alexmach3000]

Bastard...

[AtlLiberal]

Served this for Thanksgiving and it was a definite hit. I thought it would come out to dry (followed directions precisely) but that was not the case at all. They were delicious with or without gravy. This one is going into my favorites bin immediately.

[sextusloverlord]

Po-tay-to! Boil 'em, smash 'em, put 'em in a stew!

[falcon001]

This was a hit during our Thanksgiving dinner. Thank you

[WilliamPbrane]

Took a chance on these taste untasted for turkey day and everyone loved them.

Thanks chef John and happy thanksgiving from the Howard family.

[RavenCK]

Ok, I made this today for Thanksgiving. Really great!!! Thank you!

[09porcupine]

This looks wonderful ... but I really do like some lumpy-ness in my mashed pa-ta-dahs..

[elstyr]

Oooooouuuuuh yeah!

[sexydds2010]

Your family are sooo LUCKY.

[Puisan]

waxy? butter absorption? these kinda stuff never crossed my mind when eating or preparing anything. is this what you learn at cooking school Chef John? or is it through experience?

[georgiafbi]

I think I put too much milk in mine and not enough potatoes. D:

[DrunknShooter]

I like Yukon Gold potatoes for mashed Potatoes and a few lumps add a nice texture.

[neetikapaul]

g8

[Hemulen40]

I prefer mashed potatoes in da form of Vodka . ABSOLUT !

[islandboy0989]

@loldotalol379 do i look like a give a damn? Suck it Beyotch!

[RachelRjR]

That's it. I just gotta take the plunge and add boat loads of butter.

[quextico]

my god....those look absolutely delicious!! Thanks for another winner, Chef....Happy Thanksgiving!

[ELzAGemini]

the beginning music sounds like everybody loves raymond? am i right?

[1964Yojimbo]

I like lumps in my mashed potatoes just as much as I like whipped potatoes with no lumps.

[chiefofmagna]

wow and l thought using 1/4 of the butter stick was alot.

[kmwboston]

you.wife.is.so.lucky

[aletorresg]

beautiful potatoes

[mspinguen]

where can i buy Mascarpone Cheese???

[kerberos623]

@mspinguen Any bigger supermarket will probably have it. If not, check out your local cheesemonger.

[kerberos623]

@mspinguen heck even walmart has it. 8)

[chrislandancu]

But Ross likes having lumps in his potatoes!

[tinnypuff]

@chrislandancu you are so awesome :O

also, i was just watching that episode of Friends!

[pimpjuice739]

man that is pure comfort food yummy :P

[michellekaramell96]

...and yes, CAYENNE

[solozaur]

Damn it Chef John, I'm trying to lose weight here! How about some salads? :D

[islandboy0989]

Dear Santa,

I'm starting to believe that you don't exist. Why? I've been sending you letters about the perfect Christmas present. I don't see what the problem is.I simply ask if you can somehow take me to Chef John's house and complete all my adoption papers. I am tired of watching all his delicious foods all day and everyday; therefore, I want to be his adopted son. Santa get back at me...

Hi Chef John!

[DragoonBoom]

@islandboy0989 Why are people upvoting this? It's just so cornfed; COMEON!!!

[islandboy0989]

@DragoonBoom why? umm i don't know..maybe because its awesome! suck it!

[JakesterJung]

i drooled all over my keyboard

[islandboy0989]

@JakesterJung u are not alone..lol

[ataraxiaism]

If I don't own a big baking oven, will this dish be okay with small toaster oven, set it to 20 mins?

[RedTwiEyes]

I don't think anything can be too rich....

[itchydude1234]

This is a very diverse dish.

Asian (yellow)

and

Indian(brown)

[vieattlechick]

I gonna be more stuffed than the turkey I'm eating this Thanksgiving. haha oh boy.

[LeScientistt]

omg, yum. btw, do you hear how he says 'potato'? its like 'potata' hehe.

[iatemyhomework]

priority potato requirement: maximum butter absorption.

[lesley1346]

gawd i love mashed potatos

[razaviknows]

and how much salt?!

[razaviknows]

chef john what heat level to boil the potatoes? medium?

[Hooblar59385]

I love you.

Homo intended.

[saerangkim]

i don't hate lumps

[GangsterKimxD]

Just saying...

there was an ad with Chuck Norris in it before the video...I was too afraid to skip the ad..

[powitskim]

this is my thanksgiving dish this year..thanks John!

[eatingperson]

@powitskim Who you calling John? That's Chef John.

[powitskim]

@eatingperson i know... i though about it while i was typing but didn't bother fixing it. I was hoping no one called me out on it hahaha my apologizes, correction "Thank you Master Chef John with the decadent recipes and desserts Sir!" He is truly amazing Chef, with an awesome sense of humor, I have nothing but respect for him.

[MelonBerriable]

Those are really nice looking potatoes.

[Zas379]

Chef John, would you recommend putting gravy on this, or just eat as is?

[stooge81]

will you please post a recipe for make ahead ice cubes some day? thank you.

[TheCulinaryTeen16]

so what did you do with the leftovers? extra?

[BoomerangMM]

It would be cool if he spelled out ENJOY on the mashed potatoes

[waterguy12345678]

Do you make up these recipes, or alter an already existing one?

[bowler180max]

Bacon, it needs bacon bits

[JENOFR]

I like how you say cayenne in this video xD

[thefinewino]

pa-tay-tuh! I love it.

[WECantThink]

OK, This is so cool!!!! I have the same plates as Chef John! I am a rockstar!! (My 15 minutes of fame!! Oh, Baby!!!)

[demlikposet]

chef john obsessed with casserole lately

[50hellkat2]

My mother used to make something like this only she didn't put any creamed cheese in but did put the egg in mashed potatoes with butter and added a small amount of very finely chopped onion, and strangely enuf some baking powder, salt and pepper. They were light and fluffy and butter brushed on the top made them totally awesome. If anybody has heard of the baking powder thing please let me know how much to add.

[PennyDreadfuI]

I'm boiling the potatoes now. I'm making it well ahead and I substituted some plain Philly cream cheese for the mascarpone, but this is a standard dish in my family and has been for many years. This is the only time of the year I wish I had two ovens... I don't know what I was thinking when we designed the house...

[ShawnaSmoke]

MM MM! I think Ill try this sometime this week!

[Cutchswife]

This looks delicious! Lot's of butter,but you only eat this way maybe three times a year so indulge yourself

[gersonpagan]

Puerto Rican Turkey, please! I am tired of this plain flavorless cold American turkey!!!!!

[pegbster]

i might actually make this

[thelumbahjack]

i like my mashed potatoes chunky

[69adrummer]

You do realize that half of the YT community is going to be showing up at your doorstep on Thursday morning, right?! Hope you have a bunch of "kiddie tables" available!!

[kevin831018]

[gigacooler]

Y U NO MAKE FUNNY?!?!?!?! no seriously... i think your most recent videos have been a bit funnyless... (yes i think that word was invented by me so please don't use it if i'm right)

[TheVittleVlog]

Thanks Chef!

[Lauli55]

There's nothing better than mascarpone... *drool*

[kebubas]

Can't ... resist ... the call ... of POTATO !!!

[Aurorified]

[iluvmusic375]

That is the BEST looking mash potato I have ever seen! Great work as always John :)

Hi Chef John, i from Czech republic and i love your channel !!! Maybe you should try our national dish - Svickova na smetane, i believe you love it!! :)

[JimmyChiffels]

JUST HOW MANY HOLIDAY DINNERS ARE YOU HAVING?!?!

[TheDevineBeing]

@JimmyChiffels He's American, what do you expect?. America is home of the extremely greedy, decandent and wasteful people. I mean heck the US makes up about 5% of the worlds population yet uses 25% of the entire world's resources. Talk about greedy.
