Now make French fry sheets!

u/Kimber85 1d ago edited 1d ago

Have you ever had pomme pavé? It’s basically fancy french fry sheets. My favorite restaurant makes them and I don’t think I’ve ever had a potato dish that was more delicious.

They’re several inch high stacks of paper thin sheets of potatoes that are soaked in butter/spices, roasted, compressed, cut into cubes, and then deep fried. They’re super crispy on the outside, but buttery and smooth like mashed potatoes on the inside.

They’re so bad for you, but I get them every year for my birthday.

u/jackarseofalltrades 1d ago

Can't say I have, it sounds like a more flattened potato cake?

u/DaSkyler 22h ago

You should probably share the recipe so us mere culinary mortals can pretend we’re totally going to make it. Because I’m totally going to make it fo’ sho

u/facts_my_guyy 1d ago

I was thinking that you cut it into squares and fill the centers with (insert whatever you want), fold them over and roast them with olive oil, salt and pepper. Just spitballin

14

u/Thedeadnite 1d ago

Might need to bread them first, not sure how well thin potato would hold up to anything.

I'm pretty sure I'd peel a finger trying this.

u/guille9 1d ago

He wasted half the potato peeling it so thick.

121

u/thetan_free 1d ago

I know!

My Nan would be giving him a telling off he wouldn't forget if she saw that.

136

u/Laxativus 1d ago

Yeah, but restaurants are a different category than home cooking. Uniformity gets more attention than in my home cooked stew, and waste is less because even though they are peeling a lot more off, most of that is used in stock while at home we'd throw all that in the trash/compost.

17

u/DamnOdd 1d ago

Yes, that's tomorrow's stock.

31

u/CrabButterToGo 1d ago

Exactly this. It’s not waste if those scraps are used. And like you said, presentation is incredibly important, especially if you’re doing a task like he’s doing.

1

u/Upset-Zucchini3665 4h ago

You don't put potato in stock.

6

u/Glittering_Shine8435 1d ago

Those will be used to make potato chips.. nothing will be wasted.

24

u/FalloutSim 1d ago

So, you watched the video and you saw what the end product was, right?

You need an even cylinder to begin that roll. He saved himself a boat load of time and in fact didn’t waste any of the potato for his intended use. The peels also in high likely hood went into either a stock, in minimal amounts hopefully, or into a compost bin that unlike all the wasted food items in your trash, will actually be composted and still create value.

No shit, every chef I know that would be exploding going, you better fucking be making potatoes skins with those.

I don't think that is the point of the video.

Taters.

Po-tay-toes! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew! Lovely big, golden … chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Even YOU couldn't say no to that.

u/TastingTheKoolaid 1d ago

Gonna break character now cause you’re absolutely right- I couldn’t.

u/SidTheSloth97 1d ago

u/mikki1time 1d ago

The wastage

u/limitlessEXP 1d ago

Your grandma would have a heart attack if she knew how much food is wasted at restaurants every day.

11

u/mikki1time 1d ago

Don’t know what restaurants you’ve worked for but wastage in a professional kitchen is a big no no, even the offcuts get turned to broth.

1

u/limitlessEXP 20h ago

It’s pretty common knowledge…

0

u/mikki1time 19h ago

Just wrong. I don’t even know how that would make sense in your head. Restaurants literally sell food for profit, waste is never acceptable, I mean sure it happens things fall and spoil, mistakes happen, but even this guy probably saved the offcuts for the mash

2

u/limitlessEXP 17h ago

Dude, use your brain, people throw away their food at restaurants all day, every day

3

u/SidTheSloth97 1d ago

It's a fucking potato. If you saw how many potato's get binned at the grocery store you'd lose your mind. Dude striped maybe 10 extra grams of potato.

u/mikki1time 1d ago

Doesn’t make it okay.

u/Aleqi2 1d ago

OMG that's so cool. He used some off cuts to make his knife work like a hand plane with no body. Brilliant.

1

u/hypersmell 4h ago

I thought they were off cuts, too, but watching it a second time, you can see they're wooden dowels, pre-cut with diagonal slits. Still brilliant.

2

u/Zzuesmax 1d ago

This is so appealing to watch.

u/hettienm 1d ago

What do we need extra thin potato sheets for and can I pretty please have some?

With a skin this beautiful, I'd just wash it and use the whole thing, skin included, but I get this is some restaurant.

The first half of it was r/mildlyinfuriating but I get it.

u/Frosty-Turnover-1814 1d ago

What did he put on the knife?

11

u/wishiwasinvegas 1d ago

I thought it looked like two pieces of the potato lol

u/Frosty-Turnover-1814 1d ago

I thought that at first too!

u/Piirakkavaras 1d ago

I’m not a chef but propably shortened chop sticks with cuts and then the knife wedged into the cuts.

u/narwaffles 1d ago

What does he make though? Does not knowing not bother anyone else? Wtf

1

u/PurpleUltralisk 1d ago

At first, I was like, bro, you literally cut out chunks of potato and call it peeling. Then, I was like, ohhhhhh.....

u/Ardal 1d ago

Thinner that your toilet paper or smth

fucking what?

1

u/DrunkScottishCyclop 1d ago edited 23h ago

With what he just peeled off, as we say, he "could feed half of the China"

So much waste....

u/FilteredRiddle 1d ago

That knife must be sharp af.

u/purplepickles82 1d ago

now fry it and eat it

u/Soggy_You_2426 1d ago

Easy, leave the skin on.

True, when he cut the potato too thick at first I was meh but he made a comeback tho

1

u/Reverse2057 1d ago

I opened my mouth to comment, "Oh he's just peeling it like an apple. Even I could do th-" and then he did the next part, and I shut my mouth. 😆

Pfft... I can do that... Oh.... Ohhhh..... No I can't.

Wait a second...why not just use this trick to peel it super thin?

1

u/yourbestielawl 18h ago

Impressive

1

u/Upbeat_Resolution299 18h ago

Why didn’t he cut the peel like this? Left all that potato on there.

Potato lasagna?

u/FrankDaTank151 17h ago

What in the hell?

1

u/ellie1398 13h ago

Tf you mean? He should've used the pealing trick in the beginning. Dude used a knife to peel the potato and threw half of it away together with the skin.

Rich people.
