Crispy Roasted Potatoes

[@bernadettevanderploeg9551]

I discovered this gem of a man just 2 weeks ago while I was in bed being bored with a cold. Boy was I glad I was sick and looked for great videos. Even though I was sick I still found myself wanting to taste all his wonderful recipes. I binged watched and it is my go to video every day since. (I still have a lot of catch-up to do )This man is an all-round nothing less than a great entertainer!! He overseas the gardens, does all the shopping, cleaning , playing the piano, entertain friends and make the most delicious and easy breezy recipes which even the person with "2 left hands "can do 🤣 He s fabulous, and I love that somehow he gives me the feeling I am right there, shopping and tasting all his great cooking in the parlor or in the garden. What a gem!!

I love the drama of a beautifully crunchy roast potato. 🥔

Thank you for the wonderful tip about the Baking Soda. I’m going to try this in the morning.

[@myVillage2323]

Hi Kevin, You always amaze me. The tricks of baking soda and a shake, rattle & roll blew my mind. You're the best ⚘

[@DeanRussellHickey]

Shaking the potato cubes about after they're boiled, to create the mashed exterior, is something I never would have thought of. I will do so next time. I would have likely tossed them in Italian seasoning or Garlic Plus before roasting them, but I like the 'neutrality' of what you did....so they won't interfere with the main item on the plate. Excellent.

[@kathleensmith8365]

It is so cold and rainy in Texas today. This meal and those wonderful potatoes look like a perfect cozy meal. Lovely video, Kevin!

[@Tiffany-vj1tv]

I love my potatoes this way! I season them with dry ranch mix then bake sooooo good 😋. I am once again binge watching your videos Kevin because I find them very soothing.... down side is I am hungry again lol.

[@gwendolyn7462]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, your successes you have today DEFINITELY show you came a long way: WOW!

[@badrymoujais5819]

HI Kevin, I love this method. I personally add few cloves of garlic with the boiling potatoes and bake them later with the whole lot of potatoes. It is so delicious 🙂 keep up the great work

[@nancydavieau]

The potato’s look absolutely perfect (I’m surprised that they could bake so long without burning - especially since they had boiled first) ! Wonderful meal ❤

[@louisadianova9028]

Тhank you for an interesting potato trick!! Or should I say “trip”?😊❤

[@sharonkline6515]

You are the kind of person I enjoy. I look forward to many more good recipes.

[@lori3488]

Hi Kevin I made these potatoes today, they were absolutely delicious! My husband loved them! Thank you ❤

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Glad you (and your hubby) enjoyed them!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

My kids Great Grndma loved her fried potatoes. She always used crisco to fry them and she used garlic salt and cumin to fry them up. My son just loves, loves, loves potatoes and I know he will love those ones you made.

[@spa-dasoaps6436]

Kevin, I just want to tell you how thankful I am to you for this supper idea. I made the crispy taters and they turned out incredibly delicious. I'll never make them any other way! I made a fully loaded omelette with ground beef, onion, spinach, hot red pepper and spices. I also included a creamy spinach salad with frozen mixed vegetables. We loved this meal. So good!

[@CoffeeNinjaJinxy]

These look AMAZING! The baking soda trick is now logged in the hand-written cookbook I demanded of my mother. It contains all my favorite recipes and need-to-know nuggets of wisdom. Thank you!

[@gwendolyn7462]

10:43 EXCELLENTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@HISIAM888RUHIS888]

Can’t wait to try this recipe Kevin!! I will also add a little garlic salt to the potatoes!! These would be good with an onion tossed in there too!!😋🙌🙌😍

[@mariak3103]

Mr Jacobs, thank you for this wonderful baking potatos. I will definitely make them.

[@jessicles330]

Thank you for the baking soda tip! Those potatoes and your dinner looks delicious Kevin. I love your videos!

[@lgparker4726]

I love my potatoes done like this. I am now learning how to do them in my air fryer. It only takes minutes when I'm hungry.😋

[@ariannewdnotbe]

Those potatoes look delicious!

[@RVFreeDa]

Okay now my mouth is watering! Didn’t know about the baking soda. Thanks! Looks delicious!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Delicious and addicting! Hope you enjoy!!!

[@huongdao6094]

I ❤your smile too

[@stevendaniel8126]

Instead of bite- sized pieces, I make wedges. Easier to turn over.

[@sarahmoore1701]

I'm going back and revisiting some of your videos from a couple of years ago and had to compliment you. This one was in the depths of the worst of the pandemic yet you still were calm, and even brought your wonderfully gentle sense of humor to the video. I'm going to make this mouth watering recipe for tonight's supper - exactly what I was looking for (which means actually I look at your channel and website often for inspiration and am never, ever disappointed). One question for you, though. Do you have a recommendation for a really good omelet pan? Now that I have been "adopted" by three hens I have been gifted daily with the key ingredient! Thank you again for this and all your other great videos.

[@nancyjean6177]

I will absolutely try these potatoes. They looked perfect! Thanks for the tip of adding the salt and baking soda when the water is boiling.

[@ildaarsenio2959]

Love your videos and your smiling

[@pamkirkwood]

This recipe looks so yummy, Kevin...I think it is a "must try"...Thank you for sharing. Pam in California

[@gerryingram7730]

Looks absolutely delicious! Thank you, Kevin!

[@Phyllyps-Levine]

I added Herbs de Provence and dusted them with Parmesan right out of the oven and these made fantastic tapas with afternoon Martini’s with friends on the lake! Hey to Tiger! Thanks for all you do to make my friends happy!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

The potatoes sound fantastic and of course a martini is the perfect accompaniment. So glad you enjoyed the recipe!

[@parkwood6334]

Great tips for the potatoes

[@Navidmsv]

Thank you so much Kevin for this amazing simple meal recipe.

[@lisaray9404]

Perfect timing for me to watch this video! I found a recipe for a hash that has potatoes, peppers, onions and kielbasa sausage. I want to use Uncle John's Pride sausage, instead of kielbasa, as it has a really good flavor. I will be doing my potatoes in the same way that you are making them so they will be super crispy and delicious! Thank you so much!! Take care and be safe! 😊❤🥔❤🫑❤🧅❤

[@maryandrews4097]

Once upon time, in the UK at least, baking soda was added to cook cabbage, etc. However, it became known that the soda stripped green veg. of vitamins and other nutrients. I would therefore be slightly dubious about adding to the potato water. I have always found parboiling and vigorous shaking adequate. Admittedly more calorific, about a centimetre of goose or duck fat melted and smoking hot in a roasting pan answers best as the potatoes brown almost instantly. One needs to turn and baste from time to time. Using Kevin's good, less fatty recipe, a tasty addition is to intersperse the potatoes with little sprigs of rosemary and slivers of garlic. I don't know if pheasant is commonly cooked in the US, there is not a great amount of flesh on them so you always need two (a brace); I do them with the herby potatoes, cut into about 3/4in. dice and all the traditional accompaniments, i.e., red cabbage cooked with apple, spice and onion (various recipes abound) or Brussels sprouts stirfried with bacon, fried breadcrumbs and watercress. Sometimes a spoonful of red currant jelly is added to the plate. Needless to say, this not an everyday meal. My parents, when they got older and had limited company would eat this on Christmas Eve and treat themselves on the day after (Boxing Day) to lunch at a nearby village hotel popular as a base for country sports, frequented by lively young people and with really excellent food. Please, dear Kevin, don't take my reservations about baking soda to heart; I'm not accusing you of ignoring nutritional values as it is obvious that you take them very seriously.

[@maryusa8526]

I watched this video @1hour ago and emptied what potatoes were in the refrigerator (sadly 7 small and a bunch of miniature ones.) And, rewatched the video as I was roasting the potatoes...they are now served and my mom had most of them. They came out great! They cooked faster than yours, also... due to smaller sizes probably. I shredded some cheeses and served them together. I had been craving some for a while but due to Covid couldn't get to them. Thanks again ☆☆☆

[@fayeferdinand3045]

Thanks for sharing. I will be making these potatoes soon.

[@vernabryant2894]

I'll try making these.I love you're nice personality .

[@avabishop753]

Hi Kevin. Thanks for the video I can't wait to try the baking powder trick. I love peeling potatoes with a regular paring knife.

[@MH-pr2gc]

Mr Fox is a lucky man!

[@youknowthatgirl8710]

They look fantastic! Having company in November so I’ll practice and then make them for them ! Great idea !!

[@juliedesnick7401]

Looks beautiful and yummy!

[@maryargueta5607]

Wow, amazing. I learn something from you all the time ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sherilynpeters6459]

Looks great. I have never used baking soda in the cooking water. I look forward to making these crunchy little gems.

[@alishamason7941]

It's just fabulous. Thanks again.

[@eileenjesionowski9164]

I'm doing this for dinner tonight.

[@friendsofkinderhookmemoria7584]

Made these and served with mushroom Gouda omelette - a big hit!! But I never peel potatoes and didn't this time - worked out fine. Thanks so much!!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm so glad!

[@donnabigley6708]

Yummy! I was wondering what to make for dinner. I am going to make these. Thank you!

[@patriciahuffines1902]

So glad to know the baking soda trick

[@eileenthirling3676]

Hi Kevin , is baking soda the same as bicarbonate soda in the UK?

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Yes -- baking soda and bicarb soda are the same. Enjoy!

[@julieyoung6387]

YOU MAKE MY DAY TOO

[@jennifern2805]

That's interesting! Baking soda for potatoes, baking powder for crispy chicken. I know I'll have to look them both up now because I'll certainly mix up baking product to food combination. I made bread this weekend and put the leftover flour in my measuring cup from my knead into my sugar. 😜😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@fpl-canadagaz]

Keep 'making' Kevin - love your videos.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Gary - Thank you for watching!

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

They look very tasty!

[@erikzett]

Hey I leaned something new. Thanks for sharing the baking soda tip.

[@tiger_lily5424]

Today I tried this recipe it was fantastic roasted potatoes i have,,,thanks for the recipe 🙏🏻😁

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrRatherino]

looks like a winnter to me!

[@FerrisFareMusic]

When will I ever learn not to watch your videos just before going to bed?!! I may end up eating my pillow in my sleep! LOL

[@susankaltenbach9169]

Thank you Kevin, I can't wait to try these! They look delicious.

[@janicegame2372]

Just to say Kevin this is not a criticism, a lot of people here in uk use table salt it would need half the amount😊

[@suneethadesilva5088]

This is wonderful. I love it. Thanks.

[@hermanklump8983]

Delish! Can you do an omelet video?

[@sweetjaybaby]

🌹 Looks so good! I did not know about the baking soda. I love your videos!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@shannondugan3180]

Why should you salt the water after its boiling? By the I love your recipes please never stop 😘.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Shannon - Years ago, I learned that salt can cause pitting if added before the water has boiled. So glad you enjoy the recipes -- I will try to keep them coming!

[@rachelstark2391]

"Blessed" morsel...lol

[@53carlson]

Oh these look so good!!! Question though. Why should you not put salt in the water until it boils? I have always put it in the water when I put the pot on the stove. I didn't know the baking soda trick either. One more thing. Can you do a video on how to do a nice looking omelet like you did on this video? I have tried omelets but my usually look like scramble eggs. :-) Thanks for all you do Kevin.

[@ragnhildmkhamar3433]

Yum 😋😋😋

[@momliverpool1150]

YUM!

[@KimberleyPaige1]

These look delicious! Kevin what did you put on the spinach? I love having breakfast for dinner and this looks perfect!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi Kimberly - I dressed the spinach with olive oil and a squirt of lemon. 'Twas delicious!

[@regular-joe]

Hi, Kevin, do the potatoes cook 10 minutes total, or 10 minutes after returning to a boil? (Or does it make a difference?) Thanks!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Hi JK - Timing isn't terribly important. Let the potatoes boil until they are just tender (test with a knife). Let me know how the spuds turn out for you!

[@regular-joe]

@@kevinleejacobs1364 Thanks, I'm eager to try these before the weather gets too hot for cooking!

[@susanrieske4258]

Tater Tots!

[@bevheaslip8233]

Why Kosher salt?

[@KS-ts3le]

I have seen this method done with baby potatoes.

[@sofibirman8379]

🤯👍👏👏🙌

[@gueguinnicole7422]

Hum fantastique 🍞👏💐🍰🍾🐕‍🦺😽😽👏

[@cathleensmith4717]

I used a "Y" peeler and peeled two fingers and a fingernail once!, and I asked myself "why" alright 😭😱 I'm still in fear. My Mom taught me very young to handle a pairing knife I should have stuck with it.

[@rtward9]

this looks so good, gonna try this very soon.
