  1. That cook books recipes are more work than it’s worth.
    Most are a lot of work. This potato recipe was the easiest one they found in the book.
    I literally can cook any food you throw at me outdoors, and in doors.
    The bbq pit boys are the prime example of simple as simple can get when it comes to cooking.
    Most people cook in kitchen, not many are willing to cook outside because work and life does not permit it.
    The test kitchen here is a prime example as well that cooking can be enjoyable once you narrow down you recipe😁

  2. I’ve had these with crema, “Pappas con Crema”, at a restaurant and are so delicious.. would you recommend adding cream cheese or extra heavy cream? Would they stay together? This is the closest I’ve found to them..

  3. Why do Americans make everything so complicated!…EG. You had room for 6 patties in that pan. Or even better, make one big one, and turn it with a plate, and then cut portion sizes. Result, no wasted oil, or time to discard it or dump it..,.Also, you put just enough oil in to fry…

  4. I tried making this the other day and honestly it wasn't very good and most certainly not the Best as the title suggests. Maybe using a different potato, like a red potato, or Yukon Gold would be better, along with adding some butter. The crust on the outside was fine but the middle was left a lot to be desired.

  5. Looks awesome! We just processed a ton of potatoes from our garden. I will use avocado oil, as it's much much healthier than seed oils aka vegetable oils (10 x worse than sugar for the arteries according to Dr. Joseph Mercola and Dr. Eric Berg – and people wonder why they heart and liver problems.
