Chef Franks Potatoes with Dill & Garlic

[@TheTobes99]

Nothing makes a man smile like a bowl full of butter, garlic, dill, a perfectly seasoned starch and a Star Wars tasting spoon.

[@streterttrrttrr356]

Another variation of this recipe is instead of fully boiling the potatoes, you boil them only for 10 or so minutes, take them out, let them cool down and cut them in circles (around 1 inch in thickness/or however thick you like them). Then heat up a skillet (or even better a cast iron), add the melted butter with garlic and let the potatoes cook in that until crispy edges form to your liking. Two-three minutes before removing the potatoes, add your dill so that is also crisps up. My family is of Russian descent and I practically grew up on these potatoes alongside with chicken cutlets. And now your video 100% made me go out and buy potatoes just to make this recipe.

[@streterttrrttrr356]

P.S baby potatoes work best for this.

[@laurenrt7564]

Yes, dill is SO underrated, I love putting it in unexpected things and everyone always loves what it brings to the table!

[@TheLowstef]

Potatoes and dills is awesome. In Bulgaria we saute/fry baby potatoes (fresh harvest - only in season) and dill. Amazing!

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

"Don't over chop your herbs! I'm gonna come over to your house, and take your knives away if you do." Frank can be so gangsta sometimes.

[@PanMan47]

Beautiful

[@dwaynezilla]

Some really good info in this video! Even the side comments like not using the stems (and that you use them with cilantro and etc.). Really good stuff!

[@maestroukr]

We peel the potatoes and leave them whole. Also, we crush the garlic at the very end. But every household does it differently.

[@Eric1SanDiego1]

Within an hour of watching this video, I'm at Trader Joe's buying potatoes and pork chops. As it happens, I already have fresh dill at home so...YAY!

[@catherinecrawford3058]

I always do one dish that is 'brand-new' for thanksgiving. This will be it! Thanks for the insights.

[@nelhout]

Tried it with olive oil instead of butter. Didn't have dill so I used green onions. It was tasty and so easy. Thanks for the concept.

[@arsenkhad8599]

You also can take very small potatoes, peel and cook them and when they are ready drain the pot, throw butter and dill inside and shake it for some time, about 10 seconds. It will be evenly covered in dill and butter, a little bit mashed on sides, but still solid, and because of size it will keep all the taste

[@arsenkhad8599]

I mean close the pot and shake pretty hard

[@dwaynezilla]

I've had these a lot!! So simple and so good! You can use fresh baby potatoes to kick it up. Another way is to make a dill cream sauce for the potatoes by boil down some proper cream (e.g. heavy or whipping cream). _Very_ dangerous stuff, haha. I don't have a recipe on-hand but I see some "ukrainian style cream dill potatoes" in google and they sound about right. Lots of varieties and tweaks out there, and they're all good. But the basics are dill + cream + potato. If you like the sound of that cream dill sauce, check out Ukrainian beet rolls, too. The first time people encounter them, everyone's always like "I dunno" but then they eat one and are it changes to _"That. I want more of that."_

[@dwaynezilla]

Waxy potatoes is a good call! The texture would be so good in this

[@xxPenjoxx]

Shocked Pikachu when you threw all that butter into the pan!

[@d0cf0x4]

I made this for myself following the recipe in your video and it turned out great!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Great to hear!

[@alexandernorman5337]

Using that much butter will make anything good. Not good for you, but good. I love this - simple and will taste delicious. Excellent side for special occasions.

[@Raiden2480]

Looks delicious keep up the amazing work chef Frank 😀

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

That would also be fantastic with baby red potatoes. Yum!

[@joelantonysmusic9465]

Wonderful recipe Sir...

[@monkinator]

Those look and sound amazing! I think i'll give this recipe a try for sure

[@chriswhinery925]

Love garlic dill potatoes. Mashed or just in potato chunks it's a delicious combo.

[@dspiritlight]

Thanks for the recipe Chef!

[@statters]

I am watching this while drinking coffee from my Darth Vader coffee mug :) The potatoes look really tasty.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Coffee just tastes better out of Darth Vader mug

[@chefethanguo9701]

I'm Chinese, and you may feel a little intimidated by this, but sometimes we like to put dill from the garden into our dumplings; not as a herb, but as a "vegetable". That is a lot of dill, but trust me, it does not taste like pickles. It gives the dumplings a fantastic flavor! I strongly suggest that you try it!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

I will.

[@EastSider48215]

Jeez, this looks so good! I’m making it tomorrow.

[@jacquelynbaisden1583]

I always put dill in my potato salads or shrimp salads

[@Nottherealbegula4]

Made it in 1am, it was so good😭

[@alexspbm5001]

Russian potatoes (the way you doing) + Russian herring + Russian rye bread + Russian vodka = delicious forever )

[@MastodonRockss]

totally agree on the dill bit: why can't we have dill on anything other than pickles?

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

100%

[@sherie6366]

As a Russian, I was a bit surprised with this recipe:) May be it's changed a bit in american environment, or it may be regional option (I mean the region of Russia). We usually use new potatoes, scrub it with a knife or a vegetable brush, boil and after draining pour with butter melted with garlic or just put bits of butter on top of potatoes in a bowl or pot (some people prefer it without garlic), and then put dills and finally mix everything shaking it up. Never mash it. But I think, the taste is very similar. Actually, it's really simple and delicious)

[@odin2500]

Nice, I also add an egg while mashing potatoes.

[@celiaferreira2028]

@5:40 chef throw potatoes in pan you hadd butter to soak up the residue😂still love your wisdom❤

[@jilliemc]

M-m-m, that's a lotsa butter, Chef! I do something similar with new potatoes, but I use fresh chives instead of dill. With dill, chives, or cilantro I tend to use my kitchen shears and cut them fine.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Sounds great!

[@TheTobes99]

Yo Disney give this man a fuckin contract.

[@leonhardable]

all the power to chef frank, but PLEASE, any company but those fuckers.

[@lindafreeman7030]

Is over-chopping herbs a magic invocation that will teleport you to my house? Because that would save you a heap of airfare on a trip to Seattle! We got an okay potato harvest out of our garden, so this is a perfect time for a new potato recipe.

[@jacksonpeterson7501]

Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile ☺️ just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated..

[@cloudyskiees]

4:30 😂😂😂 yea, in poland dill always goes on potatoes😊

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

So delicious

[@dougidoug]

Will definitely be giving that one a go. Looks pretty damn good to me.

[@cuttwice3905]

I use very fragrant olive oil instead of butter.

[@RYN988]

Great recipe will be sure to try it!

[@RYN988]

Oh my God I just made it and it was so delicious thank you so much for this wonderful recipe!

[@shawndon183]

Pork chop next?

[@janep3377]

I grew up eating these but my grandma added some sour cream to them. Either way is delicious!

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Sounds great!

[@samanthawyatt6641]

Food is a way to speak to people without saying a word. I always ask what was the dish your mom/grandmother/etc made that you loved growing up

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

So true!

[@jacksonpeterson7501]

Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile ☺️ just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated

[@dwaynezilla]

Part of the pro mentality is learning from everyone and being able to keep the good and discard the bad. People who pull rank in the kitchen are not pros, haha. I don't mean discipline, but I mean "you're the subordinate and I'm the expert and I didn't come up with this so it's garbage" kind of thinking. Conventions are only good if you're using them as reference (like x cups of water per y convention), and not as hard-limits on what you can do with food and maybe even preventing you from learning a better way ("searing has to always come first to lock in the juices"). Plus it's boring

[@jodicastillo4695]

I am terrified of using dill in dishes and I grow it fresh in the backyard. I'm afraid it's going to make everything taste like pickles. I will try this out Frank....any other suggestions on what I can use the dill for??

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

I use it a greek style salad with lettuce, cucumbers, scallions & feta

[@shvat26]

Dill is great in homemade chicken soup.

[@leonhardable]

dill is a great classic pairing with many white fishes, too.

[@jodicastillo4695]

@@ProtoCookswithChefFrank Thanks for replying!!! I'm a huge fan!

[@carolynguidry8267]

I don’t like the consistency of mashed potatoes. Would this work with something like the consistency of a firm boiled or baked potato?

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Yes it would

[@svsguru2000]

Does the salt even get into the potatos if you keep the skin on?

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Yes, of course. 👍

[@chriswhinery925]

Yeah the skin is semi permeable and the salt is dissolved in the water. Try boiling a skin on potato for an hour and you'll see. It'll be super water logged because water can get through the skin.

[@ProtoCookswithChefFrank]

Even if it doesn't the skins get seasoned and mixed in.

[@longolongo3890]

Hello Frank, adopt me.

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

👏 🤣 👏 Hate to break it to you, but you're number 9,864 in line behind the rest of us... 🤣 Much love and prayers to you and yours, from somewhere near Seattle.
