It was tasty, I just thought it did not produce sufficient flavor for what I expected with all that extra surface area.
I feel like simply parboiling quartered potatoes and roasting them with beef fat is a little bit better "return on investment".
I enjoyed making it. I love trying different things even if they aren't what I hope.
What type of potato did you use? I find the startchier varieties work best. When oiled meticulously they get crispy everywhere.
Mind you, I find them a hassle too.
Edit, I had to remove this comment and stop commenting because I'm getting too wound up about cooking lol
I respect that! Anyway, the dish looked delicious ☺️
I tried this too and was similarly unimpressed! Good, but not amazing.
IMO the best flavour to work ratio for potatoes is to cube them and toss them into an Actifry with either beef fat or coconut oil and salt. Get a ton of crispy surface with about 5 minutes of active work, including cleanup.
Mashed is also super easy despite the above comment and is probably my go-to way to eat potatoes. Cube, pressure cook 7 min, mash with milk and butter. And I grow a ton of potatoes so I eat them almost every day 😁
Apples & oranges, to be fair. You can't compare a cream process with a simple fat process, especially when the latter is a minimalist approach and the former is recognized almost solely by its presentation. All due respect, but the critique sounds more like a preference, underneath. I hope you try this recipe again and pull from the constructive advice elsewhere in this thread. Good luck! Have fun!
