Good Eats S7E11P2: Potato, My Sweet

[honeybadger81]

I love sweet potatoes, but I tend to like them better fried, than cooked any other way. French fries, potato chips/crisps, or hash browns, they're just wonderful, but I don't care for sweet mashed potatoes.

They go really well with a dash of cayenne pepper (particularly the chips), and they're great with bacon, aged cheddar, and/or real maple syrup.

Hmmm...I bet some clever person could come up with a tasty recipe for a savory sweet potato pie that used bacon, cheddar, and maple syrup...

[amerein2006]

I have that plastic square waffle iron...

I hate it.

[QueenBoadicea]

@amerein2006 I have a lovely, large electric wafflemaker, bought cheap and second hand. It was one of the old-fashioned metal ones. It made such lovely waffles. Then it broke and I had to throw it out. All the replacements I saw for it were just awful. They were small and didn't heat well. I'd like another old-fashioned one but they're so expensive. :`(

[BluefruitNMusicSnow]

Sweet potatoes are delicious, quick, and healthy!

Pop one, wrapped in a paper towel, in a microwave for 4 mins!

[amafuji]

W is a MILF

[trumbachd1]

00:15 Sid and marty Kroft Reference?

[bunnielovesknuckles]

does alton not like cheesecake???

[SasukeFreak]

@bunnielovesknuckles he does like it

[Irishqueen88]

@bunnielovesknuckles

he devoted a whole episode to it

[chevon1920]

Thats weird, I've never had pumpkin pie, my mom cooks sweet potato pie every thanksgiving.

[cmorris83]

Underground sensation. Groan.

(Who am I kidding, I lol'ed).

[xkirahatesyoux]

The ending made me lol.

[Lufkin139]

That chinese lady is kinda hot!

[SchizoSchematic]

Gotta love W. That's what Alton calls her. I love how she and the security guard talk to each other. That and the music kind of give it a feel of espionage (sp?), as if they were secret agents.

[HipHopOtaku]

I <3 his mixer!

[jbrockviddude]

HECK YEAH!! its the coolest!  I also want his industrial strength hand mixer!

[ece311]

Easy as handling the sweet potato may be, I would pay to see Alton break out a chainsaw.

[tajash13]

That "W" is sure sexy.

[Kitsune420]

Rofl @ 5:45 xD

[bello787878]

nice idea w the chipotle.

[supsup195]

Lol i love the jokes when some other star like Martha or Emeril is involved

[coolperson50613]

"maybe he's not as dumb as you think."

(alton accidentally drops the waffle iron)

"never mind"

[bobsteve6]

i need to try the waffle recipe

[zdgbgt1]

nice blender

[ctarider665]

but i love breaking out the chain saw lol

[LifeisnotFairooBad]

Me too! xD

[ellierigby]

i made the waffles once... they kinda turned out pretty dense, the texture wasnt quite right

[LadyLuck1337]

I found that folding the egg whites in to vigorously makes them too dense.

[nasir767]

more egg whites, incorporate slower

[Hamlette69]

Thanks LTH for giving my my AB fix! I saw AB at the cleveland food show & waited like 4 hours to get his autograph & Picture.

[MrKeefaz]

Creepy security dude, get offa my W!

[LuminaryGames]

I love how hey always finds some way to squeeze his intro song into the show somewhere.

[evfich]

sweet potato fries and chips. yum

[AgentCross420]

He uses Kosher salt cause he likes that its pure and the size of the granuals.

[BigStupidFingers]

Alton ALWAYS uses Kosher salt where I see a lot of Chefs use Sea Salt... Wonder whats up with that.

[xxBloodRedSandmanxx]

I'm pretty sure it's just that sea salt is more expensive and I've read that when cooked it loses some of its flavor so it really would make much of a difference.

[kerrie1234567890]

Because it's a flake instead of a granule (like your run of the mill table salt) it dissolves quicker. This means that you don't have to wait x number of minutes (for the salt to dissolve) to know whether you should ad more salt or if there is just enough. It's also has a cleaner taste than table salt, which is iodized...

[RNNDTFRK]

and I think some funky flavors can work their way in too

[VALsacount2]

@BigStupidFingers Jews....

[honeybadger81]

@VALsacount2 : Jewish cuisine is really good!

[GMoneyStillTippin420]

@honeybadger81 Agreed 100%

[GMoneyStillTippin420]

@VALsacount2 Alton Brown isn't Jewish. He actually explains it in his salt special and Honey Badger is correct Jewish cuisine is wonderful.

[khesed]

@BigStupidFingers Depends on taste and intent. i use sea salt for some, kosher for other dishes.

[AmazonProdutions]

COOLIO!

[contagiiouz]

coco carl? o_o

[MiniMoni727]

YUM SWEET POTATOES!!!!!!!!!!

[stdrange]

ps pumpkin pie is superior to sweet potato pie in every way

[Cofaidh]

Except for the nutritional aspect.

[stdrange]

hahahah he covers the ears of the potato get it??

[axl870]

BUT THE CHAINSAW IS FUN

[RainOnTheWindow]

I think Sam likes W!

What will Alton do?

[Malquey]

My favorite episode. Sweet potatoes rule my life.

[Luminasita]

He seems to think the syrup and nuts will mix with it reguardless of it's application. Can't say I've tried it though.

~Kat

[lipecau]

If only they tasted good...

I'll try the waffle, but I'm not a sweet potatoes fan

[pisces38]

I would have never thought to put yogurt in sweet potato pie. My mom always put milk in hers. I guess yogurt is a less fatty substitute then milk.

[swimmattmile]

awesome video yes ill hold.

[pertsix]

lol mm sweet potatoes.
