You know what Brad and Carla have in common? They just explain things to me like I'm a friend.. hanging out. Like, same tone, cadence.. grammer you would use with a friend. Its the secret sauce methinks.
Yea and they both make mistakes in their segments. Like in describing the dish, forgetting a utensil. Just little fuckups that remind you they’re human.
Exacttllyy!!! Like.. Were all friends and theyre just showing us their cool new recipe. Im obsessed with their videos. Really everyone in the BA family has me one way or the other.
I just love how they leave the little flubs and accidents into the videos on Bon Appetit. It really makes these videos fun and approachable, which is confidence inspiring when it comes time to try out the recipes irl.
We knew who you meant when you said David Hasselback. It' OK. You reminded me of the time my mother told us about her trip to Tampon Springs Florida. She must have said tampon 20 times and no one corrected her either until she was done with the story.
Hasselback refers to a Swedish restaurant "Hasselbacken", where they served potatoes using this technique of cutting slices half-way through the potatoes. You also put breadcrumbs on top and pour melted butter over the potatoes every 10 minutes or so while cocking them in the oven. It's a fuss but worth doing. You get a crispy exterior with a "baked potato" type of center. Delicious.
can we all just appreciate how hilarious it was when Carla was like "I don't want to cut it all the way through..." and the background music even stops when her face goes to the most "ugh" expression and she says "I CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH... classic" I LOVE HER
Brad is such a nice guy, that's why people like him. He treats everyone like his buddy and is always open to being wrong about something. He tends to talk to people, not about them, like the people at the start of this video did. They could learn a thing or two from Brad.
hey carla, I love how you describe the sensation/science of the ingredients as you introduce them.. just as im typing you did the squash skewer technique. ive never cooked squash before but im gonna try this.
Hasselback potatoes are named after the restaurant Hasselbacken in Stockholm where they were created, hassel means hazel and backen means the hill or the slope :---)
I put tablespoon of fresh ginger in to my glaze. Sometimes I put pecans up on top. Tried 3 years ago lightly candied in same glaze the pecans and it was heaven. Ps love watching you guys. Makes me sad and happy had a stroke 3 years ago and now I don't cook anymore. Hope no cook or chef ever goes thru what I did sad to make food now with no flavor.
Hasselbacken is the name of the Swedish restaurant where those potatoes were first served. Hassel = hazel, backen = slope, small hill. The first restaurant on that spot, with that name, was built in the 1760th. But the building has been burnt down a few times ... The current restaurant was built in the 1920th.
When I was taught to make Hassselback potatoes around 30 years ago, chopsticks weren't that easy to come by up here in the north (I'm in Norway, Hasselback potatoes are Swedish). What I was taught to use as a guard against cutting through, was the handle on a wooden stirring spoon. You know, one of those spoons that has a really long handle, around 1/2" in diameter, the spoon itself is usually flat at the bottom, making it easy to scrape the bottom of a pan. Otherwise it is used in the same way, you place one on each side, which will stop you from cutting through. The spoon probably would have worked a lot better for you on the butternut squash! Great idea to prepare a squash like this! ☺️👏🙌👍
The method and name "hasselback" originates from a famous Swedish restaurant called "Hasselbacken", where a chef called Leif Elisson created the original recipe for hasselback potatoes (hasselbackspotatis in Swedish).
Yall i JUST MADE THIS for Christmas Dinner today! I added a little more butter to the glaze, maybe like a teaspoon more. Still a very simple and forgiving recipe, also an excuse to buy a very beautiful, seasonal and healthy food, the butternut squash!
Love the video, just finished my version of your recipe. I used honey instead of maple syrop, because thats the thing I had. And it tasted great! I have one advice concerning the hasslebacking part, use a even blade knife, without any curves, i used a cleaver, and it was so easy, because when you use even a slightly curved knife, you will have a different depth of cut in the center of squash , so you look at it form outside, and you see that it could go a bit futher, but in fact the center of your knife might already be close to the bottom, because of the curvature of the knife, and so you can easily break the squash, cuz it's so fragile at that point. Other than that, fantastic thing. Oh and i added a pinch of cinnamon - soooo good. Oh and Carla, maybe you would consider an episode with Brad Allicin i mean Leone? It would be so much fun :). Cheers form Poland!
i couldn't stop laughing that she said how everyone mentions Brad in the background because i'm literally looking through all these videos hoping brad will give a cameo since i've seen all his videos.
Carla & Brad style of presentation/cooking on point. Have fun first. Explain stuff in a fun, chatty way. Know your sh*t but if things go sideways don't let it ruin your day =D
When I saw the recipe in the magazine I decided to use Sage leaves and it was gorgeous! I'm going to make it again this year. Being vegan I could come up with all sorts of flavors and ways to do this as I love squash very much. :-)
Hasselbacken is a restaurant in Stockholm a few hundred meters from where I was born actually, although I moved to the bright front side of Sweden and to Gothenburg when I was 3 and soon after my parents moved too ... Hasselback potatoes is an invention from after the post-WW II era when people had less money to spend on restaurants so the main ingredient, of course, is potatoes. :D
Hasselback is named after the restaurant Hasselbacken that opened 1853 that made the potatoes that way. And what it means is the hill with common hazels.
Wow it makes me actually want to eat squash. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I would so appreciate more holiday recipes that are more unique like this.
It is much easier to peel the butternut squash before cutting it in half using a serrated potato peeler. And when thin slicing the partially cooked squash, simply leave about a quarter to half inch one one side rather than trying to leave a little unsliced at the bottom.

Liked only because you said methinks
Its that approachability that all of the hosts at BA have. I find it to be a very admirable quality.
I like how Brad is always looking back at the camera in everyone's videos.
Exacttllyy!!! Like.. Were all friends and theyre just showing us their cool new recipe. Im obsessed with their videos. Really everyone in the BA family has me one way or the other.
Carla in the foreground!
You know what is awesome with ba videos? They show that they screw up too. Awesome recipe. Keep up the good work.
Exactly! And they just roll with it :3
idk why but im really loving this lady's vibe
human50centipede you want some lucio oh's?
She literally called me out in the first few seconds of this video haha
is that brad in the background?
love u
Thirsty
yes
who's the adorable lanky redhead in the foreground though
Brad for the WIN
Hehehe. Carla is my favorite. But yes, "BrAaaAAaaaD in the BackgrouNNNnnnd" because he's dreamy.
I just love how they leave the little flubs and accidents into the videos on Bon Appetit. It really makes these videos fun and approachable, which is confidence inspiring when it comes time to try out the recipes irl.

I think Vinny should edit Carla's videos too. She's got it!
YES please!!!
Honestly shes the cutest person! What a refreshing lady
I lost it when she pulled out that chunk of squash 4:35 lol
2:50 "You want the tip of the knife to slip through without feeling like you're in a fight..."
Have you, uh...been in a *lot* of knife fights, Carla?
this lady is so cute :) and the butternut squash looks delicious. I'd make this with my Sunday roast with some roast pork
Jay Paul i made it with braised lamb fries on a bed of quinoa
David Conrath braised lamb fries?
joseph lamb testicles

Blech. Sounds like a fat bomb.
Good chefs enhance & introduce flavor, not just glob on butter or oil.
can we all just appreciate how hilarious it was when Carla was like "I don't want to cut it all the way through..." and the background music even stops when her face goes to the most "ugh" expression and she says "I CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH... classic"
I LOVE HER
I don't think anyone at BA actually knows what a tablespoon of olive oil looks like.
Chef has tablespoon of fat? They definitely meant triple that.
They just use a nonstandard definition: "Enough olive oil to cover the surface of a table."
Or a pinch of salt
@@janani1826 They must go through literal tons of kosher salt every week.
I love that they include the mistakes and laugh at themselves!! It really is relatable! Bon Appetit is my Favorite!!!!
"Go watch an episode of it's alive!" I love how Bon Appetit know that we all love Brad & its alive ! ;)
(the trick didn't work because that knife is curved.)
You don't say
Meat cleaver has a straight edge. hahaha
Also because the bulb end is hollow so there's two small parts that's holding it together.
hasselback is a swedish recipe. Here we usually put another cuttingboard right next to the potato on the other cuttingboard instead of skewers.
Yeah a cutting board or a wooden ladel would work
It isn't Carla who's cooking if there's no kitchen mishap and I love her even more for that. Carla never fails to make me laugh.
Carla cut that chili without gloves
She is now the bravest person I've seen online
Twelve20two cutting a chili without gloves isn't that brave
You put on gloves to cut chilli?
Fresnos are mild
joseph it is lol the chemical stays in your hands for hours, even when washing , and just causes pain
You don't even need to worry about that with Fresnos, especially just one or two of them.
Omg how wholesome this channel was a year ago. Nowadays it's a post-modern clusterfuck and we love it that way
Hasselback (or rather Hasselbacken) is a swedish restaurant where the Hasselback potato was invented.
"Invented"... Potatoes have existed for millions of years..
It's the style of cooking it, not the potato itself.
no they haven't
You guy, you are a genius.
As for what it means, it roughly translates to 'the hazelly slope', because swedish place names are usually just litteral descriptions.
bRAd In thE baCkgroUnD?
no, is bread
i love carla. brad and andy on the background is a bonus!
Brad is such a nice guy, that's why people like him. He treats everyone like his buddy and is always open to being wrong about something. He tends to talk to people, not about them, like the people at the start of this video did. They could learn a thing or two from Brad.
0:09 Hasselback comes from Hasselbacken which is a restaurant in Stockholm Sweden the name Hasselbacken means Hazel Hill
I love Carla's attitude.
5:30 Hey, even she loves Brad
5:57 Hey, sup Brad?
Itiel López You are the best!!!!
Making this for Thanksgiving this year...I have a ginormous homegrown butternut squash I need to use up. Plus I love Carla
Carla is so wholesome I love her
hey carla, I love how you describe the sensation/science of the ingredients as you introduce them.. just as im typing you did the squash skewer technique.
ive never cooked squash before but im gonna try this.
This looks so good! Not only that, but this is just so much fun to watch! I was just smiling all throughout the video....!
Carla is underrated, just as good as brad if not better
They surrendered to the evidence: the Brad effect
"This is about a tablespoon of olive oil just to get things started"
*squirts a 1/4 cup of olive oil on each half*
*Gordon Ramsying intensifies*
People not from the us: *confused stare*
Brad should do an "It's alive" on Tempeh!
2:49 "I'm just gonna" *psycho noises as she waves the knife* "give it a check OwO"
Carla you're the best
"Go watch an episode of "It's Alive" " . You got me there, Carla. The shades in this episode, though, hahaha. I love it!
this is a great option to use as the centerpiece for a vegan holiday dinner!
Just replace the butter with vegan butter.
"it's super easy!"
*Professional chef cuts all the way through the squash several times*

I really enjoyed this video! Make more Carla!
Carla, Brad, Vinnie!

4:11 ...use a flat-bladed knife. A chef's knife has a rounded profile, so it cut's deeper than the dowel-stops.
At first I didn’t like Carla, BUT AFTER watching this video it made me realize she is such a love able person . LUV U CARLA
Carla is adorable! She should make Brad's Christmas manicotti from today's Facebook post.
Hasselbacken is a restaurant in Djurgården, Stockholm - Sweden - Europe - Earth.
The "recipe" was made by a cook trainee in 1953
Just in time for autumn... thanks.... new twist.. maybe for kid-friendly...
I can't help it, I appreciate all of you... but Carla is my favorite. She just is.

excellent! it's early winter here in east Tennessee and squash are plentiful; will get my Bay Watch Hasselbacks going
Carla is a treasure.
Mom’s joke David Hasselback.. how i adore her!
i couldn't stop laughing that she said how everyone mentions Brad in the background because i'm literally looking through all these videos hoping brad will give a cameo since i've seen all his videos.
She's funny but I'm glad the other test kitchen employees have acknowledged that brad is our lord and savior
This was your funniest episode Carla. The squash looks great.
Carla is a gem
Carla is amazing! More videos with Carla please!
I would love to cook there, they all seem to have so much fun (and having Andy and Brad to lust after wouldn't hurt!)
"The hasselback part... of... the hasselbacking.."
Me, out loud, unable to help myself: you mean the hasselbacking part of the hasselback?
Carla & Brad style of presentation/cooking on point. Have fun first. Explain stuff in a fun, chatty way. Know your sh*t but if things go sideways don't let it ruin your day =D
This is my favorite episode with Carla
Omg this is my favorite video from this UA-cam Channel. Carla is so funny!
When I saw the recipe in the magazine I decided to use Sage leaves and it was gorgeous! I'm going to make it again this year. Being vegan I could come up with all sorts of flavors and ways to do this as I love squash very much. :-)
Looks absolutely yummy . Every bit worth making it . Thank you dear 👍😊🌹🌹will share
Tried this recipe and it is AWESOME!!! It tastes incredible, it is not hard to make at all, and it looks super fancy!
This video was a rollercoaster and I'm here for if

gosh I LOVE Carla so much what a cool lady
For leftovers you could turn it into butternut squash soup. Yum.
Wow very yummy looking food
Listen to the 0:44 second up until the 0:50 second minute mark with your eyes closed hahaha
I love that you all show mistakes. Us home cooks worry about making mistakes but now I feel better 😝
I did the hassle back before cooking by accident and that helped a lot, I did it both ways
Love it purely because of Carla ❤️
Hasselback is named after the restaurant Hasselbacken that opened 1853 that made the potatoes that way. And what it means is the hill with common hazels.
I like that they keep the mishaps in. Makes us at home feel better if we mess up lol
The word hasselback comes from the Swedish Hasselbacken Restaurant in Stockholm where hasselback potatoes were invented in 1953. Hello from Sweden!
I seriously thought she was making a pun.
she's so cute my god
To cut it in half, baton the knife through. I use a nightstick. If your knife won’t hold up to being batoned, get another knife.
She is so much fun!
the squash looked amazing as well.
Carla is delightful!!
Wow it makes me actually want to eat squash. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe! I would so appreciate more holiday recipes that are more unique like this.
I love her style
Carla is amazing !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the Fresno CA shoutout! 👏👏👏

You left all the chilli in, I FREAKIN LOVE YOU!!
lol the chef is awesome. keeps the whole thing fun like Chef John of Food Wishes
