Quite appropriate to give Chef John from Foodwishes the nod he so well deserves. I think he posted his first KZbin video in 2007.

[@eleanorryanryan2442]

Lovely recipe Donal, love watching Chef John also, keep safe everyone 😊🇮🇪

[@simplysurprising]

Tip: put the herb butter in the last 10-15 minutes, otherwise they will burn and not feel any flavour

[@marinamaragoto8676]

Funnt you mentioned Chef John, I’m making these with his honey mustard glazed chicken. PS. I add a touch of baking soda to the boil for extra crisp. Thanks Donald !

[@ivan00b]

You know chef John! I love him and im a fan of him since 2010. I love love love potatoes!

[@TheProKitchen1]

OMG! That herb butter could go with anything like you said Donal. To the point texture of potatoes by not overcooking in the pot, counting the oven time as well. Brilliant!!

[@lareinadelanoche1]

They will be delishious with Gräddsås😍😍 Thank you for this new idea!❤

[@SecretsInTheOvenFoodChannel]

These look so spectacular! 😍 Great job, Donal! Can't wait to try them for dinner tonight! Take care!

[@jamesgaul3544]

"Try them for dinner tonight"... And what time dear might that be? And what wine should I bring??

[@SprinkleofWilly]

Look so good and so easy to make! Definitely going to make this!!

[@desireejennings5932]

[@vmparakkat64]

[@maria45554]

[@jennahesp9652]

Just teasing regards John from Devon

[@juwin9437]

I make these potatoes a lot they are divine, I use a potato masher or a fork to squish the pots and add the garlic in the last 15 mins so they don't burn 😁

[@donnaechu]

Yes

[@gavinwilliams9719]

I'll try

[@lynnewibberley5986]

Ok! Just made these for dinner with a salad. We had 3 potatoes each, even my 10 year old who doesn’t like potato! AMAZING but definitely need to come with a warning ⚠️ too yummy 😋

[@diajaitly2476]

Why didn't you get Sophie in the video? Anyway great recipe I think I'm going to try this one for dinner. 😊😊. Hope you and your family are safe under the current circumstances. 😊😊

[@bridgetcarr1236]

I've still got your first book!

[@rebeccadawn8212]

Adding some Parmigiano Reggiano or some Pecorino Romano! 😋♥️😁

[@farseer123456789]

I mean the potatoes look fantastic but I'm just happy he said feckin

[@jamesgaul3544]

They look wonderful... a little parmesan cheese on top would be good too.

[@brendalee557]

Hahaha when he cut the butter, I thought he was going to put the little block in but then he put the big one in... and then also the little block 🤣

[@Krystieraspberries]

Best part: *Belly laugh* Really these are Feckin delicious

[@susandibble3525]

[@annd.h.1336]

Time consuming but looks good

[@bluemoon5411]

They are Fab fab fab

[@jerrycallender9927]

Just discovered you - never thought of adding Za' Tar to the butter. They're what's for dinner, next to some pork ribs...

[@def8332]

I love smashed Poh-DAY-Doze!

[@LifeXperienc]

I am feeling Hungary!😀

[@estherhounsell8579]

😋

[@AnnCreations]

[@latifag7033]

💕💕💕

[@TheRoyalcheddar]

Banging smashed Po-day-ros

[@deborahmeares1048]

Great recipe but I would love to add at the very end is a little bit of freshly grated Parmesan

[@yolman25]

you look great in yellow ...not many can pull that off

[@John-cant-ce-me-nah]

"What we're aiming to do is to cool them rapidly so we can squash them and put them in the oven". Yeah how exactly does cooling them help to fulfill those actions? Only logical thing I could think of is that they stay more in shape when cold instead of hot when smashing, but isnt the skin around it already holding it together? Why not let them steam-dry so they can also absorb more herb butter??

[@BloodyAngel88]

Dude, smashed potatoes are AMAZINGLY good! Though I wonder how they would taste with a nice brushing of BBQ sauce. ;)

[@mrpanicattack6688]

I wish I can say potato like po-day-toh 🤗

[@mazenoshana1136]

😍👍

[@TheFearlessCooking]

Can I make it in microwave ??

[@JoshuaShaneSmith]

No, it has to bake / crisp up in the oven. ;)

[@annesweeney5552]

I made these a lot from your cook book . Have to surprise my husband and make these once again . Donal I love the idea of butter infused steak yum

[@rege772]

Brad Leone; “gotta crush that garlic to release that uhh that uh allicin”

[@DillerDallerDuller]

Mmmm bodados

[@tjs114]

The recipe in the link is very different from what you did in the video. Half the cooking time and 20C/50F lower temperature. Maybe need to edit that?

[@AA-bk1oe]

Ohh i love potatos..tbh that tray will probably be chowed down by just me and my beau.

[@kirstenherbert5143]

Did I hear you say “feckin’ “?? Amen brother. In Australian it sounds a bit more rude. Those spuds look feckin’ delicious!

[@kirstenherbert5143]

By the way you wear grey hair very well. Like my husband - lots of Silverback Sparkles as we like to say.

[@lelazdravkovic8571]

💖👌🥂

[@sheccabaw]

**cuts off small section of butter** **adds big section of butter to pot** **adds small section too**

[@teresaly8763]

I made these with truffle oil

[@Fenrispro]

my audio turned all the way up but unable to hear u, quite soft

[@WanderlassS]

Where is that amazing kitchen from one pot pasta

[@Baukereg]

If you reference Chef John, you at least should add some cayenne. :p

[@Dan-kh3fg]

Looks like potato cookies

[@Dan-kh3fg]

Irish cuisine

[@martha3445]

I went to your website to check recipe amounts. While there I tried to check out the reviews/comments. I accidentally gave it 2 stars which was not my intention at all.

[@jonlawrence19]

I rarely comment but I make these often and they're amazing but this video has way too many unnecessary steps! The cooling down is a waste of time as is the cutting of the potatoes. What's the point when you're gonna keep cooking them in the oven?! By not cooling them off you lower the baking time! You can simply drain them and drop them on a sheet pan lined with oil and then put a chopping board on top of them and squash them all at once. It's also weirdly satisfying to do ;) Then just add oil, seasoning and just some of the butter mixture and bake them up. The butter mixture you add it once they're done for incredible flavour!

[@skippymagrue]

For real! The cooling off and cutting them before he smashed them is too tedious.

[@followme8238]

Those look pretty big for baby potatoes...
