"Obviously the roasted potatoes are only one part of the meal..." Nah, bro. That's the meal. I could eat only those for dinner and be totally thrilled with it.

[@meretd.5826]

True

[@lucagarside9428]

I agreeeee hahaha

[@bossnian5615]

100%

[@Scrizal]

@John Doe funny.

[@Ad-Lo]

@Meow how is racism funny?

[@lsmft9576]

Jamie is the best when he starts to go sightly insane as he is explaining technique. Fun to watch as his eyes get all wobbly and he wants to grab the camera by the collar. Def passionate about his food.

[@nathanhallisey441]

Billy H. Look up Gregs kitchen if you want to see some loony cooking videos. He is from Australia and he shows recipes that don't have any fancy ingredients.

[@Kezpool]

Nathan Hallisey what has he used that is a “fancy” ingredient? Clementine maybe I’ll give you. Sage rosemary olive oil all pretty standard

[@nakkerannakl1627]

Billy H. Add beans it will healthy!

[@meghanwatts4483]

It's very interesting to watch him!

[@okeycokey2000]

Agree, I give it to him hard every vid

[@Matt19matt19]

theres nothing better than cooking for people and see them enjoying your food. they dont need to know what effort goes into making the food. nice video for us novices to make some awesome food. just add jamie or gennaros gravy. nom nom

[@_innerpeacekeeper]

i've always been peeved by jamie's old cooking shows, where he talks to someone off camera. but now that he's looking right at the camera and showing his true personality, watching him is an absolute joy. you rock jamie!

[@reinettevisser]

Jamie always makes it look like it's super easy to cook great food and that gives me the confidence to try it myself. He´s never let me down.

[@kouradimpla]

I'm so glad this video was filmed in the new era of foodtube. One of my all time favourites. I remember watching back in the day, being very curious about the goose fat and after all those years, I use goose fat to every roast potato. Thanks Jamie!

[@jelajelena1bakinakuhinja]

fantastično!

[@ChipZilla69]

I swear Jamie has the best recipes. He makes the food i want to eat and i can actually follow his instructions. I'm really getting into my cooking now. Thanks Jamie.

[@tgatez3566]

love the way you have all the seasonings done before you throw into the food, im a visual learner and lose a lot when people just use " dash of " or whatever word they use.

[@Pixiequeen18]

This man right here is amazing I absolutely love & adore Jamie Oliver he makes the dishes feel so simple to make, he makes me wanna be in the kitchen & cook better foods for my son he also helped me through not so easy times..Thanks Jamie Oliver

[@hannahweber7585]

I made these last Christmas from Jamie's earlier roast potato video, and they really are the best roast potatoes ever! My guests said they were the best they'd ever had! So delicious 😋

[@cliffhorman6846]

I teach people to cook who have no idea and don't watch TV food shows or read! Jamie has been a great help to me to supply no thrills easy tasty economical cooking to people. And how to shop and store. Thanks Jamie you have helped many more people then you know.

[@QuirkyQuillify]

I made the rosemary potato tonight and it was sooo delicious. Nice crispy skin. The family loved it! Thank you Jamie.

[@MikeKay1978]

I did these for my kid, she loved it! daddy these are so yummi, thanks Jamie for the great recipe!

[@vincenzosplate]

Perfect potatoes 😍😍😍

[@rithas1802]

I can't watch any of Jammie's recipes without a watering mouth. He is just the best..

[@MollyGraceItaly]

I did these a few weeks ago, and they instantly became a family favorite :) Roasted potatoes will never be the same again! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe

[@mari-jozilveti1209]

Jamie, I must confess that your first video recipe teaching us how to make the perfect roast potato has changed my way of preparing this meal. Here at home we love it. Let's celebrate this wonderful dish #foodtube and merry Christmas!!!

[@ElizabethJJ]

Jaimie it looks like you fell even more in love with roast potatoes since the old video, didn't know it was possible! haha love this!!

[@Bekindtopeople]

I agree.

[@caty2ful]

Of course, now he´s not eating as much :) :) I know that feeling....

[@shitpostaccount]

+Elizabeth JJ How could this have been posted 3 weeks ago if the video was posted yesterday?

[@ElizabethJJ]

+tot-o t-oto (toto) this was an unlisted video linked to another Christmas video :)

[@boosterseat740]

+Elizabeth JJ I don't get it :D

[@rott0s]

I tried these today and they were soo good. Originally, I thought the parboiled step was too much of a hassle but it was actually easier than I thought and it was definitely worth it!

[@terkeishatyler8745]

I made these for my friends with olive oil and butter and it came out perfect. They were gone so quick! Everyone loved them.

[@60frederick]

To your team, to your family and to you I wish a Merry Christmas! Thank you for all your videos!!

[@JamieOliver]

+Frederick König Thank you so much. Have the most wonderful Christmas!

[@viviennefigge346]

[@thepolish]

[@stuartvincent1395]

Omg Jamie I'm 49 and learning so much from your food tube, thx mate brilliant

[@rg1283]

This is BY FAR my go-to recipe for roast potatoes !

[@CreativeKitchen]

I love this potato, I try it home and that taste is amazing! Thanks for recipe Jamie!

[@lunasperspective]

What's it called ? The type of potatoes ?(:

[@hidayahzahirah3234]

I've tried one of those in my kitchen lesson since i took culinary arts. They are perfectly delicious. My lecturer satisfied, i'm satisfied and so do my happy tummy.

[@jaaayj5474]

Jamie honestly will you make your mind up? every single year you change your roastie recipe and each year these potatoes are meant to be the best ever! Make your mind up son

[@miyokoyuki1288]

I cooked the first version for this Christmas and it came out perfectly!

[@lianagabriele5759]

i use this method every time since watching your last video! they are the very very best!! since maris piper potatoes are not available where i live in Canada I use russets with excellent results!

[@katievlogs8316]

superb, did all 3 pans last year, my daughter and son cant wait till the next they said, thankyou jamie

[@MiaKloseFoodTV]

Using the masher is a trick that I have had use for several times now! Thanks Jamie! ❤️

[@maryamshazna9140]

love his passion for food

[@ivkuasenov]

We are watching you from Bulgaria, Jamie is awesome fun to watch.

[@luisatjiputra1047]

Currently tried this at home! Thank you Mr. Oliver!

[@darkestserenity6775]

amazing tip on the potato masher making those roasties even crunchier and lovlier , I have to try this today , my mouth is watering already .........thanks Jamie , you're amazing

[@RaymunJai]

the trick and what makes it the best recipe is squashing the potatoes half way through. My god does it make it a huge difference

[@Herc11355]

By why does that make a difference?

[@jkilian86]

Po-tay-toes!* Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew..

[@boxhawk5070]

Brave Potatoes!

Goddamn awesome! The amount of cooking i've learnt from Jamie is CRAZY

[@hehe8948]

अरे भाई भाई भाई.... आप यहाँ पर.... मुझे भी जेमी ओलिभार का शो बोहोत पसंद है। 😋

[@mrpoool1015]

The best part is that it's incredibly easy to follow, thanks Jamie for saving this years Christmas for me

[@johanlebacq1998]

Same here! About 15 heats now. My wife keeps saying she wants to kiss Jamie’s footsteps for that. 😀

[@johanlebacq1998]

15 years. Years.

[@leonieharry2941]

Yes indeed, and it is always fun to watch him cooking in his fun and easy going way. It is very easy to follow him and his advices.

[@SomaKitsune]

I haven't even tasted them and I know they're perfect!

[@ItsMeAndreaTJ]

I'm crying. They look so good and so delicious

[@Aland163]

I recon I could eat that whole tray of potatoes. They look incredible . Good work.

[@studiosherlen]

[@nutella8974]

I am too

[@stealthiness_]

+sherlen lvn number 1 in eu not really in italy but close germany,uk,poland lands of potatoes man

[@Jamac007]

Who isn't?

[@meekcheeks]

Who isnt!

[@ramo95rk]

i tried those a few days ago, and i swear on them! They are so so good. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe Jamie! :) xxxx

[@alcuin18]

Those first roast potatoes are absolutely delicious. In the US, I use Yukon Gold and they work beautifully, with a slightly sweet flavor. Thank you Chef!

[@garethvenables9607]

Cooked the oil and butter ones tonight and they were banging! Best roast potatoes I've ever made.

[@angelaberni8873]

I'm so pleased that Jamie has learnt so much about herbs and cooking when many years ago he did that fabulous Italian tour, because he was able to teach the Brits how to use garlic , rosemary and all the lovely herbs. Prior to this Brit's thought garlic and company quite discusting. Well done Jamie !!! 👏👏👏

[@sheylita29]

I'm definitely going to try it for Christmas dinner, I love your recipes and the way you cook!

[@raheal99]

the best recipe I have ever seen . the best part of it is flattening it n baking for another 10 min .thanks for sharing.

[@CookingwithJulia]

Love crispy roast potatoes!!! As always thanks for the tips Jamie!!

[@thesirenscall994]

My goal in life: to cook a meal with Jamie Oliver

[@kochichris]

love it with skin on

[@azucenabv]

Best roast potatoes ever!! I have cooked this recipe two times and I will repeat for sure! (I used the olive oil version)

[@margaretstokely9016]

The lighting in your rustic country kitchen, and garden, was THE BEST!

[@miranng]

i do this with some lime leaves, curry leaves, dried chilies, coriander seeds, garlic, butter. tastes awesome when the garlic kind of roasts dark and sweet

[@JamieOliver]

+Miran Ng delicious!

[@jeffward1106]

Rosemary hot water trick is very clever. Would that have worked with the thyme as well? No.3 tray wins anytime of the year, me thinks!

[@aleonakr1952]

+Jeff Ward yep this works with thyme, tried it last week. And sage too - wakes the flavours up!

[@ShikiKaze]

+Jeff Ward It works with all herbs and spices. It's actually one of many way to enhance spice presents.

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

How am I just learning this trick? been cooking all sorts of cuisine since I was 12...

[@h.hunsel6314]

what trick?

[@protocolofficer2629]

This is phenomenal! You simply cannot beat the old roast spuds and you give us 3 versions? Thanks mate. I make roast spuds plus parsnips peeld, cut lengthways, boiled 5 minutes and tossed in half flour, half Parmesan s&p, and laid next to spuds in pan. Check them after 25 minutes or so for doneness. Have fun.

[@DaniloLeite]

I made it today and it was incredible! Thanks for the tip!

[@mukkaar]

Haha :D Made the olive oil one, I think this is going to be only way I eat potatoes for a while.

[@wildwelshgirl]

yum yum yum can't wait to film some Christmas videos this year

[@yalova84]

Cooked them yesterday (Tray 3) and they were fabulous. The best I have had for years

[@DamirSecki]

GREAT Jamie! Love you are redoing all these 'old' recipes... had some copies in poor quality! AWESOME!

[@joghaella9500]

"Insulted boiling water" 😂 Damn, need to check my hearing.

[@MaximLeushin]

Oo yes . Картошечка :))

[@mynameisiris6345]

I just love this recipe its easy and flippin delicious.

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

You know, thanks for a different twist on the roasted and baked potato thing... Love the twice baked loveliness and love how you just make it simple....with the skins on the garlic. I'm a gourmet but been so busy lately. Thanks for reminding me that it "doesn't have to be perfect to be good."

[@DuckNoire]

Those look amazing. I bet mine won't turn out half as nice 😢

[@darkestserenity6775]

have faith and follow the master :P

"Awwwwh roast pota'ers" - Jamie 2015

[@luck2893]

Jamie, I LOVE YOU. YOU MAKE ME HAPPY.

[@syclone]

Many thanks for this amazing recipe!On today's Christmas we ate them and they were delicious!

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

4:27 Forget about fancy plating! Let's just dump 'em all on a wooden block!

[@eustacequinlank7418]

Nah, do all this (par boiling etc), but leave the skins on (Maris Piper or those red skinned Rooster things) ruffle them up with some sea salt and scrape the skins with a fork. Roast potato crackling. I never peel spuds for roasties any more.

[@Maarten_from_Belgium]

Here’s a tip: add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water when boiling the potatoes, it will make the potatoes even more crispy after baking them in the oven.

[@Aquaboy11]

I just love this guy…. Puts the fun back in cooking!!

[@NeoDragonEWW]

No.1 - "3 table spoons" - yeah.... That times 3, lol. :D Great video. My GF always makes number 1, actually (I think she got it from your 30 minute meals book).

[@Akidryt]

+Stephen McVicker yea i always wonder about their "table spoons" and "tea spoons" to me it always looks like their measure times 2-3 xD

you're so messy Jamie 😂 thank you for sharing you secret for having crispy baked potato!😉

[@silvanodelazzari8522]

Lucky you! It looks like a savoury dish.

[@kimjasmine7767]

Hope he remain cheerful n inspired in all circumstances. Love the potatoes.

[@jlebrech]

those make YOU fluffy tho

[@amirprog]

Is it a must to peel the potatos?

[@coltenmeyer2775]

Use good potatoes, and you dont have to. I prefer reds cause the skin is amazing with them.

[@bx9559]

Amir Amran for this recipe yes, with the amount of oil and butter, u want the crisp of peeled potatoes

[@manuloveskyon]

Jaimie and I share a passion for potatoes, always make the same face while cooking them and while eating them! I'll definitely try this out!

[@muscleandmath2910]

Can't wait for Sunday when I have time to take my time with cooking.

[@Upgration]

So can I go with my Bertolli with Butter for nr. 2 ? :D

[@aeoe5524]

No, Bertolli sucks.

[@Lidalgirl]

Go for it ;)

[@kalliste01]

+Upgration obviously :P

[@georgeschofield663]

+Upgration dont use that bertolli crap.

[@Upgration]

that was just a joke, since gennaro had made a product placement video with the bertolli butter. It was a bit ironic because he almost always uses plain olive oil in his pasta dishes >.< :D

[@happygirl5497]

I'm in the dark side of FoodTube, a secret video about roast potatoes. 1. I'll become a supervillain "The potato girl" 2. I'll steal the recipe. 3. I will hang the recipe in my evil layer. 4. I'll make a threat to destroy the recipe. 5. Jamie will defeat me with his banana boomerang and soccer shot. 6. Jamie will save the recipe. 7. I'll run out of ideas to write ;)

[@DamirSecki]

+Sarwa Atta lol.... but the only thing that stuck out... SOCCER? :D
