It's been nice knowing you, Cromer.

The faff is the thing. If you stick with it, the results are amazing.

/Plus, it's not so expensive on ingredients to give it a go.

They are now 15 hour *CRONCH* potatoes

The *CRONCH* is amazing, and they're SO fluffy and fragile on the inside. Pale with all the garlic cream sandwiching each layer.

So, that's it.

They are really light inside, and really crisp on the outside.

Excellent as a side, or own with a sauce or dip.

Enjoy.

*I did.

Step Twenty.

Either:

Shallow fry in deep frying pan with oil, both sides until crisp. They ARE fragile, so be careful in handling.

or

Use a fryer with veg oil at about 190C for 3 more minutes.

Drain.

Put on kitchen towel.

Season well.

Serve.

They're the absolute tits.

Step Nineteen.

Cut up into reasonable size wedges, about 1.5-2cm thickness, and the entire depth of the block. You'll see the layers.

Step Eighteen.

After a good 12 hours, OR MORE, in the fridge, you're ready to rock n' roll.

Take out of fridge, and get it ready for carving...

It should look a bit like this.

Yesterday it was topical takes on the Iran situation, and a personal focus on potatoes. Today, it's about house plants.

You can never say this account lacks variety.

Haven't forgotten about the potatoes, lads.

They're still chillin' for later.

From now on, every time I see an American post on here about American things, I'm just going to reply assuming they're talking about Yorkshire, and respond accordingly.

I'm surprised so many Americans are wading into Dan's mentions telling him how he's doing things wrong on his own account, and assuming they're completely in the right as always.

As far as I know, Dan doesn't even HAVE oil.

Make the ins square so once the potato has chilled into the layered 'block', it makes it MUCH easier to slice into the appropriate shapes, ready for phase 2.

Once again I remind you, that EVERY time they release one of these 'Crisis Room' shots from Mar-a-Lago, it looks like one of those set ups in 'Rogue Traders' where they get the experts holed up in a loft watching the secret cameras film a dodgy plumber trying to rip off Edith, 84.
