    Chef John I'm not much of a YT comment nerd, but I REALLY appreciate your videos. You have a humorous, whimsical take on so many things that the "big names" really miss the mark on. GR takes himself WAY too seriously but you have fun through the whole thing. Hope you have a great Xmas season and hope to enjoy many of your vids next year.

    These are pretty standard fare here in Belgium for any sort of fancy dinner. They even sell them frozen at the supermarket. Typically much smaller than these though! I guess the larger surface area per serving size gives more "fork-don't-lie" crunch ;)

    You could end the swirl by pressing the tip into the mound. This would leave a concave little space at the top, and after taking them out of the oven, you can add some nice flavored butter there to melt into the potatoes. :)

      @@Emiliapocalypse not op, but we cook our christmas duck in a Roman pot (look for römertopf if you can't find it with the english translation). Water the pot, place your duckbreasts in it (skin side up and slighty cut to release fat), fill it with water until it reaches the outer rim of the skin, add salt, pepper, onions, apples and seedless tangerines, put on the lid and place it in the oven (180°C, 2-3h). Remove the breasts from the liquid to crispen up the skin, blend the liquid with the onions, apples and tangerines, use starch/another type of binder to thicken up your sauce. We serve them with german bread dumplings (Semmelknödel) and lamb's lettuce (dressing is just sparkling water, salt, oil, pepper and onions).
      The sauce is so good that my sister and I eat it just with a spoon on its own, to 'see if it needs more salt/pepper/whatever'. It's a lie. We just want to eat the sauce

      In my country, a quick Google search shows a potato ricer is £32.50 which is about $40.

      @@re-de Oh I agree he's looking to be inclusive. Pretty much anyone might have a wiggly-wire shaped potato masher left over from their grandmother's kitchen. And it is fine, though it is a bit less efficient.
      I never liked those wire potato mashers though, because I like my mashed potatoes really smooth. When I mash them by hand enough to get them really smooth sometimes they are a little bit gummy from being overworked.
      A potato ricer, though, gets rid of every lump in one pass, and you can even mash the butter through at the same time so you barely even have to stir it! Never gummy, always super fluffy. Once I tried it I knew I loved it completely and would never go back.

    I made "duchess potatoes" a while back for one of those cook-ahead strategies - I read where they freeze well because the lecithin in the egg yolks stabilizes the potatoes somehow. it did work - they thawed & reheated beautifully. But LOL I didn't make fancy shapes like these (though now I wish I had!). Thanks Chef John!
