Chefs Club

Does anyone watch the crazy stuff going on on their videos? Today I did see something more down to earth and a hack I never thought of. Chef put melted butter into two muffin tins. Into each hole went what looked like Yukon Potatoes, the perfect size to fit. About halfway through, he turned the potatoes, which came out perfectly golden. What a great way to cook baked potatoes for a crowd. Most of the stuff I see involves huge amounts of cheese and takes more time than I want to spend in the kitchen these days.

Have never seen this. Is it a You Tube program?

I like the idea of making large quantity fondant potatoes that way. Pretty damned smart.

Actually, I have been watching it for years. Not sure where it comes from. I do not purposely go to their site, it comes to me as a pop-up and I like to watch some things. The one with the baked potatoes was especially appealing and why I did not think of that is funny, because I make a bacon, potato, cheese thing in the muffin cups for all our family when they are here. That same episode also had a bork belly being carved apart and put back together that was interesting, then served on top of the potatoes.

I also make little gratins in a muffin tin--cream, cheese, garlic and thyme. Wonderful things, and so pretty on the plate because the cheese element insures pretty dark brown edges.

I've also used muffin tins to make individual mac and cheese bites for parties. Always a hit.
