greetings my beautiful lovelies it's
[12]
emmy how are you it's so good to see you
[14]
and welcome back today i'm going to be
[17]
making another recipe that requires a
[20]
long period of time i'm going to be
[22]
making 15 hour potatoes
[25]
many of you beautiful lovelies got in
[27]
touch with me via social media and
[29]
requested this one the tick tock recipe
[31]
i'm going to be following comes from at
[33]
poppy cooks and i will put a link down
[35]
below to the original if you're
[37]
interested so what's involved in 15 hour
[39]
potatoes well we're going to take yukon
[41]
gold potatoes we're going to slice them
[42]
up we're going to toss them in some
[45]
melted duck fat and salt and then we're
[48]
going to layer them into a loaf pan bake
[50]
it press it cool it for 12 hours cut it
[54]
into cubes and then we're going to deep
[56]
fry it now number one i want to know is
[59]
this recipe worth it i did a hundred
[61]
hour brownie recipe in case you missed
[63]
it i'll put the link down below and it
[66]
required 100 hours to make these
[68]
brownies i'll let you find out if it was
[71]
worth it or not as with these recipes
[73]
there's a lot of preparation involved so
[75]
let me catch you up to what i've done so
[77]
far the first thing we're going to do is
[79]
take five medium-sized yukon gold
[81]
potatoes these potatoes contain a little
[84]
less starch than say a russet potato
[86]
they're a little bit waxier and it looks
[88]
more similar to what poppy cooks uses in
[91]
their video so we're going to peel them
[95]
wash them and then slice them very
[97]
thinly and you can do this with a knife
[99]
but i opted to use this tool here and
[102]
this is called a mandolin it is very
[104]
sharp and hence can be quite dangerous
[106]
so make sure you use the included guard
[109]
if you use a mandolin next we're going
[111]
to take some duck fat i tried to find a
[114]
local source for this but i couldn't
[115]
find any so i ended up ordering some
[117]
online and it comes into tin this was
[119]
about 15
[121]
and it is a beautiful fat to cook in
[124]
it's mono and saturated and it is
[126]
traditionally used in french cookery
[128]
paired with potatoes because it yields
[130]
such crisp beautiful potatoes so we're
[133]
going to take about a quarter cup of
[134]
duck fat and place that into a large
[137]
bowl and if your duck fat is a little
[138]
bit solid warm that up just for a few
[141]
seconds in the microwave because we want
[143]
to be nice and liquid add your sliced
[145]
potatoes and then we're going to add
[146]
about one teaspoon of kosher salt if
[149]
you're using regular table salt use
[151]
about half as much because kosher salt
[153]
has bigger flakes and it tends to be
[155]
less salty than table salt and then give
[158]
everything a good toss we want to make
[160]
sure every single slice of potato is
[162]
coated with the duck fat
[165]
next we're going to take a loaf pan and
[167]
you're going to line it with parchment
[168]
paper
[169]
then we're going to carefully layer our
[171]
slices of duck fat coated potatoes
[174]
inside our loaf pan and fill it all in
[177]
pressing it compressing it and making
[179]
sure that we've got duck fat in every
[181]
single layer so what we're doing here is
[183]
we're laminating we're making layers and
[184]
layers of potato and in between we've
[187]
got the duck fat it's kind of similar to
[189]
or analogous to a croissant so croissant
[192]
has layers of pastry and in between
[193]
we've got butter and that's what gives
[195]
us that beautiful flakiness we're going
[197]
to take some more parchment paper and
[199]
cover the top and then we're going to
[201]
place it into a preheated 120 degrees
[203]
celsius or 250 degree fahrenheit oven
[207]
and bake it for three hours or until a
[210]
knife pierces through the middle very
[212]
easily once the potatoes have finished
[214]
baking i took another loaf pan stacked
[216]
that right on top and then i weighed it
[217]
with some jars now we're going to take
[219]
this whole thing and place it in the
[220]
refrigerator and chill it for 12
[223]
hours so that was the bulk of 15 hours
[225]
we had a three hour baking time we have
[227]
a 12 hour cooling time and now we're
[230]
going to spend a few minutes deep frying
[232]
our duck fat soaked potato slices in a
[235]
small saucepan i've got about an inch
[237]
and a half of peanut oil and i'm going
[239]
to go ahead and start preheating this
[242]
so we want to get this to 190 degrees
[245]
centigrade here is my little rig
[248]
let's go ahead and unmold this and cut
[250]
our spuds since it's in parchment it
[253]
should unmold easily
[255]
i always say that and then i jinx myself
[257]
right
[259]
yeah
[260]
we need to
[262]
unstick that
[264]
it should come right out
[266]
okay good
[270]
alrighty there are potatoes so this
[273]
technique poppycook's called
[276]
of cooking
[278]
something in a fat for some time it's
[281]
called confi
[282]
and from my understanding it's also a
[285]
means of food preservation so you would
[287]
have duck comfy like a leg of duck you
[289]
would poach it in the duck fat then you
[291]
would allow it to sit in its fat the fat
[293]
would cool and coagulate but also seal
[296]
it from any kind of pathogens or
[298]
moisture and when you needed some meat
[300]
you just extricate it out of the fat and
[302]
then reseal it and it would be a great
[305]
simple way to preserve meat brilliant
[307]
right other examples of using fat for
[310]
food preservation would be paraffin on
[311]
top of jellies
[313]
wax on the outside of cheese okay back
[316]
to this and i'm just going to cut this
[318]
into
[320]
cubes
[321]
that's what the potato looks like you
[323]
see all those slices
[327]
potato tower these probably measure two
[330]
inches by one inches it should be noted
[332]
that i'm using peanut oil here peanut
[334]
oil has a really high smoking point so
[336]
it's good for frying at high
[338]
temperatures 376.
[341]
let's just lower my potato in there
[350]
it's
[350]
frying wowzers
[353]
it's a good idea not to overfill your
[356]
vessel
[358]
oh it's sticking
[360]
i don't want you to stick so give them a
[362]
little squish
[363]
so they don't stick too badly
[368]
that is looking gorgeous
[371]
gorgeous
[372]
oh my gosh these are so
[375]
gorgeous
[379]
[Music]
[389]
alrighty my beautiful lovelies and here
[391]
we are the 15 hour potatoes completed
[395]
and they look beautiful they smell
[397]
marvelous it smells like french fries in
[400]
here and they didn't fall apart which i
[403]
was a little bit worried that that might
[404]
happen but they didn't they crisped up
[407]
beautifully and now i can't wait to
[409]
taste them
[415]
so right after these came out of the oil
[417]
i sprinkled them with some more kosher
[419]
salt alrighty let's go ahead and finally
[421]
give one of these a taste itadakimasu
[435]
[Music]
[441]
this is essentially a very long process
[443]
to make a very crispy tater tot they're
[446]
so crispy they're almost on the edge of
[448]
becoming a potato chip
[450]
they're beautifully seasoned you've got
[452]
that great taste of potato
[455]
salt is very important here and then
[457]
you've got that lovely crunch they're
[459]
not so crunchy that they become a potato
[460]
chip but almost but there's a nice kind
[463]
of bite and texture to them that's
[466]
similar to
[468]
hash browns when you have hashbrowns and
[469]
you get those crispy edges
[475]
i just need a little bit of ketchup to
[476]
dip these into
[479]
delicious i'm trying to see if i can
[481]
detect any duck fat flavor any of that
[483]
richness and i don't necessarily i taste
[486]
lots of delicious potato i think maybe
[488]
that has to do with the fact that we
[490]
deep fried these afterwards but
[491]
regardless these are
[493]
scrum-diddly-umptious
[494]
lovely texture lovely flavor
[497]
are they worth 15 hours
[499]
if you've got some time on your hands
[501]
and you want to try a little experiment
[502]
and you happen to have some duck fat
[504]
yeah definitely have it a go it's
[506]
actually not that much work the bulk of
[508]
the time in this recipe is passive
[510]
they're just resting in the refrigerator
[512]
but if you're watching this and suddenly
[513]
now you have a craving for fried
[515]
potatoes i would say go to your freezer
[518]
grab the frozen tater tots if you have
[520]
them and deep fry them rather than
[522]
putting them on a sheet pan and baking
[523]
them deep fry them and deep fry them to
[525]
a really dark golden color and then
[528]
sprinkle them with salt grab some
[530]
ketchup and
[538]
do that alrighty my beautiful lovelies
