How to make the 15 hour potato. Recipe below 👇 2.5kg/5.5lbs maris piper or russet potatoes 600ml/20fl oz double cream 4 crushed cloves of garlic Salt and pepper Vegetable oil to deep fry in Peel and slice the potatoes nice and thin. I use a mandolin for speed and consistency. Simmer the cream with the garlic for 5-10 mins until thick and season well. Add the slices of potato into the cream. In a lined tin pour the creamy potatoes roughly. They don’t have to be exact just flat. Pre heat the oven to 130°C Fan/300°F/Gas Mark 2. Add parchment to the top of the pavé and add a layer of baking beans to help cement the spuds then place in the oven for 2-3 hours. Once cooked, remove from the oven and flatten with something - could be cans or cooking beans. Then place in the fridge for 12 hours (or over night). Once set, cut your slab of spuds into you desired shape. Get a deep pan ready for deep frying. Or a deep fat fryer and get it to 180°C and deep fry until golden and crispy. Season with salt and enjoy!!! #potatotiktok #potato #15hourpotato

Day 21… bacon-wrapped potato fondants 😍😭 get the recipe below 👇 Ingredients 8 maris piper potatoes 8 rashers of pancetta or thin streaky bacon 10 sprigs of Rosemary 6 cloves of garlic 250g clarified salted butter Enough chicken stock to finish covering the spud babies Cut the potatoes into similar heights and then into rounds as best you can. You can use cutters if preferred as it's a little quicker! Get the pancetta wrapped around them and secure it by piercing it with a piece of rosemary. A nice sturdy piece. In a small sauce pan add in oil. You want enough to cover the base of the pan. Place the pan on medium-high heat and add in the potatoes, bottom down (if that makes sense). Let the spuds get some colour, this usually takes around 5-10 mins. After this time, flip them over and add in the clarified butter. You can find my recipe for clarified butter in the description above. Use the chicken stock to then make sure the potatoes are just covered. Then add in the garlic and Rosemary. Add some parchment on top and leave to cook on a medium low heat for around 50-60 mins. It’s a long process but it’s worth it! You are looking for all the stock and some of the butter to have evaporated. Leaving you with super soft fluffy potatoes in a pool of caramelised butter. Once it’s like this turn the heat off and leave the spuds in the pan. After about 10-15 mins they will be ready to wiggle off of the bottom of the pan! Add a sprinkle of salt and you’re good to go! #24ChristmasPotatoes #christmasfood #potatotiktok #potatoes
How to make the crispiest roast potatoes To feed 6 people, I like to use: Around 9 large potatoes, or a few extra if they’re small 200g/7oz goose fat, beef dripping or vegetable oil (if using vegetable oil, you will need a little less oil than you would fat) 2 chicken stock cubes 2-3 tbsp flaky sea salt #potatotiktok #potato #roastpotatoes
How to make fondant potatoes. Recipe below 👇 6 red skin potatoes 150g butter 1 chicken stock pod 200ml water 3 cloves of garlic 1 sprig of thyme + rosemary Salt and pepper Instructions Cut your potatoes into the same lengths and widths. (Using a cutter is an easier way to do this, but you can get by without one!). Once your potatoes are cut, get them into water to prevent browning. To clarify your butter, place it in the microwave until melted, do not stir! Leave in the fridge or freezer to set. Once set, poke a hole in the corner and let the milky bit out, this will help prevent burning whilst cooking. Get half of your butter melting in a medium heat pan. Place your potatoes in flat side down, leave them to colour in the butter for around 10-15 minutes. Add in your just crushed garlic, thyme & rest of your butter. Once coloured, add in your stock. Turn the potatoes over and turn the heat up slightly to bring the liquid to the boil. The liquid should be just at the top of the potato, but not covering. Leave this to reduce by about a centimetre, then add a cartouche/parchment paper on top. Leave them on a medium-highish heat, (just keeping a loose eye on them) for around 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of you potatoes. Once the liquid is half way down the potatoes, remove the parchment and leave them on the heat for about another 15-20 minutes. (Once you see that the stock liquid has gone, you should still see the fatty, buttery bit left, this is what is going to give you the caramelised crispy potato top). Now don’t be alarmed but you want your fondant to stick to the pan. That’s when you KNOW it's going to be good. So leave the fondants on a low-medium heat until you can’t remove them from the pan Take them off the heat and leave to the side, they can take anywhere between 10 and 20 minutes to remove themselves from the pan, don’t rush them or you may end up with all the good bit left, looking up at you in the pan! Once they are wobbling free, turn the over and basque in all their glory. #potatotiktok #potato #carbs

Day 11… the ultimate roast potato recipe ❤️😍 details below 👇 Ingredients 4 maris piper potatoes (or Yukon golds), peeled and cut into equal sized chunks 100ml vegetable oil Plenty of salt Instructions Get you potatoes into cold salted water and boil for 10-15 minutes until falling off the tip of the knife. You don't want them too mushy as they won't hold their shape. Drain off the potatoes and leave to steam dry in the colander with a tea towel over for a further 10-15 minutes. This makes them extra fluffy! Preheat the oven to 220°C Fan/475°F/Gas Mark 9 and get the oil into a baking tray and get it into the oven to get hot. Once the potatoes are ready, give them a good toss in the tray to fluff them up and then carefully pour into the hot tray with the oil. Cook for 20 minutes then remove from the oven. Turn the heat down to 180°C Fan/400°F/Gas Mark 6. Give the potatoes a turn and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. You may need less/more time so keep an eye out. Once golden and crunch, they are ready to go! Sprinkle with a little more salt and enjoy the ultimate roasties! #24ChristmasPotatoes #christmasfood #potatotiktok #roastpotatoes
