But like...
Why aren't the potatoes in the sauce?
That just seems obvious to me ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Even then, those look like boiled potatoes served plain. Toss some herbs on there and roast them for a bit. It's not hard.
It's not hard and it's not necessary. There are different ways to enjoy a potato.
Naked potatoes mixed in with a hearty sauce are fine.
Though imo they should be brushed with oil and salt, then roasted (or airfried!) because boiled potatoes are boring lol
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that you should only boil a potato if you intend to mash it. Otherwise, what are you even doing? There are faster and tastier ways to prepare it.
You should boil them a bit in an alkaline water before roasting as well. It breaks down the surface into a starchy mess that crisps up wonderfully while they roast.
Alkaline water? Do you mean salt water or water with vinegar? I don't know enough about Ph to know which one makes alkaline water.... I think vinegar is an acid, but is salt a base?
Neither, I'm referring to adding a small amount of baking soda to the water. You're correct about vinegar being acidic. Table salt is neutral. Sodium bicarbonate is basic and increases the alkalinity of the water.
Thanks for the clarification!
Oh, that sounds great, thanks for the tip!
Not everything has to be soaked in fat. Plain potatoes in a sauce, like in Japanese curry for instance, are pretty good.
A light brush of fats makes the outer layer crispy when cooked under high heat!
I understand, but I don't want crisp in my curry potatoes ๐
I wonder which version is correct in japanese/Indian curry recipes? Not that it makes any preferrence wrong, tastes are personal.
But I could've sworn one way is the traditional way and one isn't... Oh well ๐คฃ
Tbh, as a British person, I think the same thing every time is see this meme. Although, I might make it worse
I'd have it with mash potatoes. Then, its like pie and mash, just without the pastry.
