Transcript

How to crush potatoes. Worst, we wash, bake, and then steam. Every single potato is crushed by hand. We fry until crisp. Plate it. Touch of salt. Some fluffy bearnaise sauce, touch of panache, and then we serve it, preferably tier kiwi. Cumin is pretty tier. And, yeah, that's, that's it. That's, fresh potato. Fresh one.
