Chef John's French Fries (How to Make)
Learn how to make French fries that are super crispy with this twice-fried method. I don't think most people realize that any decent French fry needs to be fried twice. The first frying is done at a lower temperature, which softens the potato and prepares the starchy surface for the second frying's crispification.
Roasted Delicata Squash
Delicata squash is roasted in the oven until tender and flavorful in this easy recipe. You don't have to peel delicata squash. Serve warm as a side dish or at room temperature as a snack with pumpkin spice aïoli.
Fondant Potatoes
My fondant potatoes are oven-braised in a buttery, thyme-flavored sauce. The result of this old-school method? Golden brown potatoes with a crispy crust that remain rich and creamy on the insides. Serve this classic French side dish alongside roast chicken, beef, or fish.
How to Make Perfect Polenta
Polenta is nothing more than coarsely ground cornmeal. The classic ratio is 1 part polenta to 4 parts water, but I like to measure the polenta just a little scant of a full cup. I often use chicken broth instead of water. It's a great base for any kind of saucy meat or mushroom ragout.
Parisian Potatoes
If you are cooking for somebody special on date night, these gorgeous crispy potato balls would be an excellent choice. They are essentially a round butter-flavored French fry. You will need a Parisian scoop (melon baller) to make this recipe. Serve with a nice bistro steak.
Chef John's Duchess Potatoes
Duchess potatoes are the perfect special occasion side dish. You can prepare them in advance and then bake them when you need them.
Chef John's Jollof Rice
This is a foolproof recipe for cooking Jollof rice, West Africa's most popular dish. I like to serve it as a side with my West African-style grilled beef (Suya), but it can also be a main course.
Mashed Potato au Gratin
This spectacular mashed potato au gratin is my favorite potato side dish, mashed potatoes, topped with my other favorite potato side dish, potatoes au gratin. Beautiful, buttery mashed potatoes, with crusty, cheesy potatoes on top—it's a whole new exciting way to eat potatoes.
Golden Butter Rice
This golden butter rice, flavored with ginger and turmeric, is a forgotten way of cooking butter rice. It isn't cooked rice with butter stirred in, it really is rice cooked in butter. This is my favorite version, with seasonings inspired by a classic Indian drink called golden milk.
Big Fat Fondant Potatoes
These big, fat fondant potatoes are meltingly creamy on the inside, deeply caramelized on the outside, and have a rich, savory flavor from being bathed in butter and a miso-dashi broth. Your best steak has a new best friend.
Baked Pumpkin Polenta
Chef John's baked pumpkin polenta gives a savory pumpkin twist to polenta prepared in an interesting, visually appealing, baked form. It is so soft and creamy inside a crust that holds its shape, subtly sweet and earthy.
Tres Leches Mashed Potatoes
For these tres leches mashed potatoes, yes, we are going to use 3 milks—just like in the cake that inspired the name—just not the same 3 milks. Mashed potatoes, already great, will be turned into something extraordinary.
