  • Join my online French cooking classes 👨‍🍳: learn.thefrenchcookingacademy... French bistro saute potatoes are delicious. Always slightly crispy and tender at the same time. Today we are looking at the cooking secret behind the french panfried potatoes and how to get them perfect every time.
    in this video recipe we are learning how to make French bistro style saute potatoes with onions and a hint of parsley. They will make a wonderful side or an lunch nibble.
    Ingredients for a saute potatoes side ( 2 -4) servings:
    Half a kilo/ 1.2 pounds of potatoes (suited for frying /roasting)
    1 medium size onion (sliced)
    3 tablespoons of fresh parsley (chopped)
    Salt and pepper for the seasoning
    3 tablespoons of peanut (groundnut) oil

    This is a "must learn" recipe for anyone who likes to cook. After (literally) many years of disappointing saute potatoes, finally I have the secret(s) down.
    Three must-have takeaways:
    Get the right potatoes. You want potatoes with with medium-high starch content, and preferably a firm, somewhat waxy flesh. Russets are good in the US. Maris Pipers in the UK. Check availability where you live. Five minutes work, and it will be repaid a thousand-fold.
    Cut into consistent sizes. Not too big, not too small. And all roughly the same size.
    Put cut spuds into COLD water and bring to a boil. DO NOT drop into boiling water.
    Lastly: The addition of some onion and parsley takes these from (merely) delicious and into the realm of lip-smackingly heavenly.
    Plan roughly 25 minutes for a batch. Three minutes to peel and cut. Seven minutes to bring water to the boil. Then fifteen minutes (total) into the saute pan. Adjust per your experience. But fifteen minutes in reasonably hot oil is enough for them to develop some good color and crispiness, without getting burned or overcooked.
    Merci Beaucoup to the French Cooking Academy for this superb recipe! Bon Appetit!

    There s a book readily available on Amazon called "One Potato, Two Potato". It has 300 different recipes for Potatoes. It almost always has used versions for sale for as little as 6 bux. Saying this not to undermine Steffane. I pre-ordered and recied his book but am an 'inch' away from joining his courses. I am just offing his readership and Stefanie him himself for some french 'variations. Lastly, I watch his videos literally every day.

    Wow! Fabulous recipe. Many thanks! I was raised in a household with a lovely Irish grandmother cooking potatoes every which way you could imagine. Her cookery was legendary. I've only done this recipe once, but these potatoes are sure-fired go-to for me from now on. Skipping the parsley, I tossed in a good handful of thinly sliced 4 peppers mix with the onion (which I had in a 2 kilo bag frozen). Red, yellow, orange, green peppers. The dish was magnificent! Flavour beyond expectation! I was lucky and hit it just right with the kosher salt in one pass. I think that is one of the keys for sure, as always with potatoes, just the right amt of salt. The potatoes had a very nice lingering heat too. Perfect with the green peppercorn duck sauce! Incroyable!

    I made this today. I also threw a few baby carrots in to add more nutrition and color. It's important to not add the onions too early like I did. In order to avoid burning the onions, I had to take the dish off the heat before the potatoes were as crispy as I would have liked. Oh well. They were still very good. Thank you for this video!

    Hello Stephan, I really enjoy your videos and I am learning a lot from them. French cuisine is a great treasure for mankind. In one your videos you said you made your living from computing but when you were younger did you train as a chef or are you self taught? It does not matter if you are self taught because I am trying to teach myself and people like you are helping me a lot. I am just curious about this because you seem to be very professional. I just wonder how you got so good at this.

    These can be done in the oven also. Blanch first, season with salt and pepper, add some oil or duck fat, put on a baking sheet, put into a 170 C./ 350 F. oven. Roast about 30 minutes, toss every 10 minutes, add chopped rosemary last 10 minutes.

    I made them again. I used more oil than the first time.
    Also turned them on each side as they browned.
    Then added the onions, and turned it down for 20 minutes at least,
    I used normal fresh red potatoes. This dish rocks.
    I asked my guests to rate each dish - grilled pork shoulder steak,
    Ravioli in marinaria, your bistro potatoes, and
    a very fresh salad with mozzarella chunks.

    if you score the potatoes or shake them around, the get roughed up on the surface. When you fry them, they'll be even more crispy.
