Confit Potatoes?

[JimLinebarger]

Try cooking like carnitas, low and slow until almost done then crank it up (most like easier on the stove) to crisp the skin.
I want to try the sous vide method from Sous Vide Everything guy on Youtube, Guga Foods.

Tried this today with slightly larger potatoes cut in half/quarters.. Probably should have either cut them smaller or left 'em in for longer, they were still a little firm after 2 hrs @ 225.. Added some pre-chopped garlic from a jar.

Made a hybrid with Henrik 's version by sauteing them in duck fat after they came out of the oil, crisped up the cut sides.. (I didn't have enough duck fat to fully submerge.)

Pretty awesome. Sorry I didn't get photos but imagine a gorgeous crisp cut side..

​​​​​​​Thanks ecowper for this inspiration!

Hmmmm...I bow to yer Culinary Expertise, Brother Mine, but close examination ain't showin me no forky holes, in them taters, to allow absorption of brine...

I always give em some perforations, but there's definite more that one way to skin a cat, an I'll readily acquiesce that many most likely are, in both principal, an fact, better than th ways I know.

Jus know what I likeys...

Meanwhile, Lovin It!!! Will definitely be tuned in to 'Th Ernest Channel', see what happens next!!!

I’ve never dry brined potatoes. I’m not sure it would do anything beyond the skin, though.

[Ernest]

Has anyone tried dry brining potatoes?
I must make these. Oh look at the calendar, 3 day weekend.

[JeffJ]

Trying it right now. Will post my thoughts.

Bones, I’m drooling and gonna have to cook this again soon

[ecowper]

Give it a shot, want to know what you think for sure.

[ecowper]

Hank, this was amazing. Really. Eye opening for me. Let me know what you think

[Henrik]

Now THAT’s a winner! Dayumn! Gonna do this fer sure 👊👊👊

[JeffJ]

That sounds fantastic. We will definitely be giving that a try.

[ecowper]

when it dawned on me that you could confit potatoes I had the same reaction.

[ecowper]

give it a whirl ..... I am definitely going to step this up to duck fat. But with EVOO, I thought it was amazing. My wife is not a big potato fan (except hashbrowns) and she loved it.
