Emily Blunt Shows You How To Make Proper English Roast Potatoes | Barefoot Contessa: Back To Basics

I love Emily Blunt. She is a great actress.

[@Melexploreslife]

She’s also a lovely lady

[@chelsea7755]

YES! Finally! Oh my gosh this is perfect. Thank you thank you. My grandma did this Every. Single. Year. She slowly forgot how it was done and was no longer able to do it herself. Currently 97, I'm so happy that I could surprise her with these :)

[@tarafarrell46]

Use Marris Piper potatos when roasting. U don't need to put them on the wire rack. Just drain the potatos and put them back in the pot and put them on the cooker which will take off the extra moisture.

[@faradillaramadhita1782]

Emily Blunt is a great chef! She's really good at cooking with Ina Garten. Love her skills! Emily did the best!

[@jorreca]

I adore Emily so much, and brilliant Ina!!! Love her recipes.

[@itsCeciliaKim]

I would watch Emily Blunt and Lin Manuel Miranda do anything together in a video! The potatoes look delish.

[@theartsyzoologist]

I’m not a fan of potatoes but those did look wonderful. My grandmother mixes a little flour, and sometimes dried garlic and herbs together and rolls the potatoes in it gently before taking them for a quick flash in the pan and they come out very crispy but nice and soft on the inner. The only way I will eat potatoes really.

[@elmozooster]

i'm going to try this!!

Spanish is so confusing to me... See... I’m French and fluent in English... So “yo” sounds like “You” to me but then I read “como” and I know that’s Spanish for “comme” then I have to remind myself that “yo” is “I”/“me” 😩 como yo = comme moi (=like me) 😂

You all are so dramatic, Emily didn’t say it was like an English roast - she just said her family would be impressed. Caaaalm down 😫

Also, she was just being her usual lovely and polite self, because had she spoken the truth, she would have been perceived as rude.

I love Emily Blunt she also reminds me alot of Claire Foy another of my favorites.

same lol

[@proserfina21096]

The EMILY who deserved to be in PARIS!

[@sallypenhalli]

Ina asked Emily to make traditional English roast potatoes not a traditional English roast, it's right there in the title. That's why there's no gravy or Yorkshire pudding or all the other things people say are missing from a traditional English roast. Ina only asked right at the end if it was like a tradional English roast and Emily answered her vaguely, saying her English family would enjoy the meal, probably just to be polite.

[@shirleywise4254]

Looks lovely but us brits traditionally love our gravy made from the vegetable water ie cabbage/carrots etc not potato water as in one comment mentioned. With a roast and paxo especially with chicken which is sage and onion stuffing for those who may not know. If it had been roast beef there would be Yorkshire puddings to. But these days any roast could include Yorkshire puddings because we love them. A good roast is delicious.

[@stitchintime4332]

It’s not an English Roast without Yorkshire puddings and homemade gravy.

[@polyphiloprogenitive4614]

And at least one other vegetable!

From what I saw in the video it was the other way round. The cook (Ina Gardten ?) showed Emily how to prep the bird.

[@grahamjohn612]

Where’s the gravy? 😳

[@robharris8844U]

I am from Northern England, and can explain the absence of gravy and Yorkshire pudding from the roast by Emily is because she is from southern England, who tend to not use gravy at all. Yorkshire pudding of course is from northern England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@sallypenhalli]

I'm from the south of England and we have gravy with every roast and Yorkshire pudding definitely with roast beef and often with other roasts. It's also served this way in pubs in the south so definitely not just a Northern thing. Given the name, Yorkshire puddings obviously originated in the North, but it doesn't mean the rest of the country hasn't wholeheartedly embraced them.

[@robharris8844U]

@Mimikins Maybe individuals in South households have chosen to have gravy, but in many southern hotels you have to ask for gravy to be prepared. Also many households in South do not use gravy as regularly as Northern households. Of course there are individual households of north and south vary. It is just a generalised comment because UK families are more mobile in movement than they used to be in say 1950- 1970s

[@peefuzz351]

[@PaulaJoW]

Why do they always have to make cooking segments so perfect and showy? Not so much a cooking segment as a movie promo.

[@kathleenclark5877]

They are not trying to do a proper English roast. Roast capon. Yes. Roasted green beans. Yes. Emily Blunt’s roasted potatoes. Yes. But it isn’t meant to be a traditional Sunday roast. Just elements of a meal, roasted. PS. I am 71 but I want to be Emily Blunt when I grow up! She would be so much fun to be with on a Girls’ Night Out!

[@Justacupatea]

🤣omg so amazing those green beans

[@dmm9714]

Gravy and at least three steamed/boiled veg to make it a British roast. And where's the stuffing?!!

[@traceyoneill8627]

Roasties look amazing , even better done in goose fat

[@MrsCheetah1]

Roast potatoes is something I can't get right. Do you turn them over halfway through roasting?

[@LooselyGrope]

Your fat needs to be absolutely screaming hot when you put the potatoes into the tin. The oven needs to be really hot, and you need to turn them often. I leave my roast potatoes in for absolutely ages until they are really, really crispy. Personally, I find goose/duck fat is the best thing to use.

[@SunnyMorningPancakes]

I say no to turning. The fat does need to be really hot though. When they're in the roasting tray then you can use a metal spoon or something to give them a quick coat in the oil and then just put them in but also don't open the oven once they're in.

[@handl3_me]

Well, her version of proper. My mum makes it proper!

[@malibizzy]

I love Ina but I'm offended because the chicken died in vain. Why is it so under-seasoned? 😭😭😭😭

[@zucchinigreen]

Her fresh from a Hamptons chicken is not the same as your grocery chicken. If you season the cavity, you season the chicken. Plus, she has like 10 billion other roast chicken recipes to choose from 💁🏿‍♀️

[@AdrianThomasTT]

[@shazzycromo]

Yeah, that isn't an English roast, it's 3 parts of one, also the lack of seasoning throughout it upsetting haha.

[@Drizzle600]

Wellll gotta say!! You surly must season and pour the hot oil over the potatoes before you shake them up!! That will guarantee an evenly coated spud and therefore no need to turn them every 15 mins while cooking! .. slightly crushing them with a potato maser half way is a good tip though

[@user-cz7sb1ow5d]

Emily Blunt comes across so fake! I like Ina and her cooking usually. I am British and I agree it isn’t a British roast but I think the idea here was never to cook a British Roast. Ina Ina is cooking her Chicken/Capon roast which looks delicious and her roast Beans ( looks lovely and different to boiled,stir fried or steamed beans) and Emily s contribution was the potato which looked lovely too. The whole idea was not meant to be a British roast chicken
