  1. A US quart is 946 ml, So whatever you use for 2 quarts use same for 2 liters: U used 8 times proper amount hence bad flavor

  2. Thanks, Marion! Love this vlog. Will make this on my Aussie's partner birthday on the 28th.

  3. I loved your video.I’ve been baking potatoes lately.And I use lard. Thank you

  5. Thank you for your roast potatoes experiment. Nice to know I've been doing it right for years.
    What is the best potatoes for mashing?

  6. The percussion interludes are so similar to another instructional cooking channel…

  8. hi Marion, I love this type of video from you! I can't wait to start roasting potatoes now, and all I could think about while watching this was, 'I'm going to eat some roast potatoes now!'

  9. Loved this. I guess I'm saving my duck fat for something else! Perhaps do a mashed potatoes episode using same idea, boiled v steamed, & then ricer v masher etc…thank you for making cooking so fun!

  10. Hi Marion,

    OK, this has taken me 20 years to perfect

    Floury Potato (English floury potatoes "Maris Piper") English Chips are also made with these potatoes !!!

    Power Boil in salted water (WITH 1 teaspoon of Bicarbonate of Soda), boil for 12-14 minutes, do the knife test !

    Throw into a colander, toss about with some dried paprika so edges get rough and colo(u)red, leave to cool until just warm !!! (VERY IMPORTANT)

    Heat oven to 210-220 C

    Heat Duck Fat in a METAL baking tray, leave in oven for 10-15 min

    Trow potatoes into duck fat and quickly toss so they are all coated

    Place in oven for 25 – 35 min, checking from time to time

  11. I love to take new baby red or Yukon potatoes, boil in salted water until just tender, drain and get the water off, put on baking sheet with melted butter and lightly smash with a glass make sure butter is on both sides and I then finish in the air fryer. Soft middle and crunchy outside.

  12. Marion – You crack me up! ???? Will have my husband watch this video as he LOVES roasted potatoes and favors parboiling! Thanks for doing all the hard work and testing all options. You ROCK! ????
