Chapter 528: Crazy British Potato
As an international chain that originated in the United Kingdom, Four Seasons is an indispensable ingredient for mashed potatoes.
The British love potatoes, but to the point of madness, the British they often use potatoes as a staple food in a meal, and even too much bread, yes, there is no mistake, they can eat nothing, only potatoes!
Rice and wheat are not produced in the UK, and potatoes have always been the traditional staple food of the British, and the British diet is basically potatoes except potatoes. The British have a variety of potato food, such as steamed potatoes, baked potatoes, potato strips, mashed potatoes, potato soup, potato cakes, potato salad, potato pudding, all kinds of different characteristics.
The British mash potatoes to make delicious mashed potatoes, cut into strips and fry them into delicious fries, and french fries rolls are even more delicious.
It's also good to cut large pieces into potato grids, and it's also good to fry onion rings, or learn from McDonald's to make hash browns.
The spicy potato wedges are also delicious, flattened to make potato pancakes, and the soup with some cheese is simply delicious.
It's also great to mix it with sausage and cream and grill it! You don't have to make a hot dish, and cold mashed potatoes are good.
Roasted potatoes with skin in half, don't cut the bottom, put all kinds of salads, sardines and dressings in them, scoop them with a spoon and eat, it is the leather jacket potatoes that the British like, slicing them for barbecue is also a good idea, if you miss the roast too dry, it doesn't matter, this is everyone's favorite potato chips!
Small potatoes are also good, they grow cute and have a good taste, unless they are raw and sprouted, they can't be eaten, anyway, they are delicious no matter how you do them!
The British potato complex makes them exclaim: "You don't understand how delicious this has to be!" ”
This is the crazy British potato, the treasure of the town.
Unlike China, there are at least ten varieties of potatoes, large and small, and the skin is black, yellow and white, but the prices are very cheap.
In the UK, the quintessential roadside snack is "fish and chips". There are often many small shops on the roadside that buy "fish and chips". The fries here are called fries. It's better to call it a "potato stick" because it's not as thin as the fries we used to eat, but each one is extra thick. Walk the roads of the UK, no matter what time of day. It's not uncommon to see people holding a paper bag of fries topped with ketchup or cheese dressing and a large piece of fried fish.
The most interesting thing is the packaging of the fish and chips, especially when eaten on the road, they are not served on a plate, but wrapped in newspaper. I heard that in the UK, the first newspaper to use French fries must be the Times of the day, so you can read the newspaper while eating fried fish. Of course, the fries have long since been replaced with clean white paper or cartons.
As the "fish and chips" are fresh and delicious. Steaming hot and convenient, fish and chips have been a popular delicacy in the UK for centuries. However, some Brits treat them as a meal, while others simply eat fries as a pre-dinner snack and snack, which is also served in many restaurants.
The other type mentioned earlier is called "leather jacket potato".
It is called "leather jacket potato" because the potatoes are roasted with the skin on. Baked potatoes with skin. The color is bright yellow, the fragrance is overflowing, and it is very attractive, and it looks like a person is wearing a beautiful jacket.
Cook the potatoes in half, without cutting the bottom, and add a variety of vegetable salads, cheeses, sardines and dressings to the inside like a hamburger, and spoon them into them.
In the UK, it is already common for specialized chains to sell "leather jacket potatoes". Because this is also one of the foods that British people like to eat, it feels like canned silver cod.
Leave aside these street foods, and don't care about the heavens
Scoop the mixed mashed potatoes into small balls or knead them by hand. Place on a plate and set up. If you use your hands to make balls, moisten your hands with water and they won't stick to your hands. Pour a small half bowl of chicken broth into a small pot, add black pepper, and add shredded ham. Once boiling, thicken with water starch. Pouring the sauce on top of the potato balls is cute to look at, which is a restaurant-level method.
In addition to street food and restaurant-quality cuisine, the average British family buys potatoes at home, and the general rule is to eat them boiled or steamed, and serve them as a staple at lunch and dinner.
When eating, just sprinkle some salt and pepper, no need for any seasoning, potatoes are cooked and cut into small pieces to make a salad, because potatoes can make the soup thicker and thicker, so it is the most ideal ingredient, so the British often crush it to make a thick soup.
According to the survey, the UK has the largest market for potato chips in Europe. Here, potatoes are made into snack chips of various flavors and are the main snack food in supermarkets.
In Canada, as long as there are British people, you will never see the fries in their hands, but when you see that the British are all tall, pot-bellied, and have fries and chips in their hands, you have to think of the sequelae brought about by their eating habits.
But is it because they like potatoes? In fact, the energy of the soil itself is not high, 67 calories per 100 grams, and it is very nutritious! It is a diet food, and it is almost the most nutrient-complete vegetable.
But the way you eat potatoes is the problem, if you eat potatoes as a staple food, and use the way of steaming, you can lose weight, and his energy is much lower than rice and noodles.
But the British generally treat potatoes as vegetables, fried and fried, and the potatoes themselves are very oil-absorbing, so the calories are very high, and the worst thing is that although some Britons can choose to give up the french fries and potato chips, and the potato chips plus meat slices or cream to fry or burn, such potato dishes themselves are not low in calories, and the most terrible thing is that it is super rice, so it will eat a lot of calories.
It's no wonder that the British don't have a big belly!
But despite this, there are still people who are willing to enjoy the delicious taste of mashed potatoes at all costs, so you can imagine how delicious it is!
Sikong Yao is not an avid potato enthusiast, but she can't miss the Four Seasons signature dish, cheese baked mashed potatoes.
Mashed potatoes can become a signature dish in a hotel, which shows that the British people's preference for potatoes is really boundless.
Peel and steam the potatoes to make a puree, add an appropriate amount of butter and cooking oil to the pot on the fire, add the mashed potatoes and salt, pepper, monosodium glutamate, chicken powder and stir-fry evenly on a plate.
Start the oil pan again, add cooking oil and butter to heat up, add diced beef, diced onion, bay leaves and fry until fragrant, then add an appropriate amount of water to thicken the potatoes and pour them into the pot and plate of mashed potatoes, cover it with a layer of cheese, and bake it in the oven at a temperature of 220 °C for 5 minutes until the surface is golden and bulging, and it is made into a restaurant-level gourmet mashed potatoes.
Cheese is also cheese, but not necessarily, cheese generally refers to cheese that is more watery, and generally cannot be eaten directly, but needs to be processed, while cheese is relatively dry and can be eaten directly sliced.
For example, McDonald's cheeseburger should actually be called a cheeseburger.
Cheese is also commonly divided into processed cheese and natural cheese.
Natural cheese is made from cow's milk or goat's milk, coagulated by the addition of lactic acid bacteria and rennet, filtered out of water, and then soaked in brine for three days, and then fermented for four to six months.
Processed cheese, on the other hand, is made by crushing several types of natural cheese, heating and dissolving them, and then cooling them to solidify. The difference between the two is that the lactic acid bacteria in natural cheese are alive, while the lactic acid bacteria in processed cheese are dead.
The moisture in processed cheese is also relatively high, and the nutrients are slightly thinner, but the phosphorus content is higher, so the advantage is that the quality is stable, easy to preserve, and because the smell has disappeared during processing, the taste is better, and there is no unacceptable strange taste.
The potatoes themselves store a lot of heat, so they don't get cold after a while, but when the mashed potatoes are served, there is almost no reason for them to refuse to eat, and the delicious taste that can be enjoyed even after being hot is so delicious that it makes people scream.
Potatoes are versatile and can be perfectly blended with any ingredient, because the cheese becomes smoother after the color, but you can feel the graininess of the ground puree, and the crispy rustle makes people can't help but take a bite after bite, and the diced onion and beef added to the mashed potatoes are also very delicious, the rich gravy of the beef and the aroma of the onion make the mashed potatoes extremely delicious.
Because Sikong Yao was going to Randy's Dessert House to learn Battisian's dessert skills, he got up early, and Roman Monet also told him not to call him, so after Sikong Yao ate breakfast, he got up beautifully and prepared to leave the Four Seasons Hotel and set off towards Randy's Dessert House.
With excitement in my heart, although with my current strength, I basically don't like to achieve anything, but I can't lose the face of my country.
If you are lucky and really get a prize with the most potential, the teachers of St. Edro Cuisine Academy will probably be crazy, this is an international award!
Thinking of this, Sikong Yao actually smirked, and people who didn't know thought that this little girl was enchanted. However, most of the people staying at the Four Seasons Hotel were British, and when they looked at it, they saw that Sikong Yao had just eaten cheese baked mashed potatoes, and they all expressed their understanding: "I must have been moved by our mashed potatoes!" ”
Then the Britons all nodded their heads in satisfaction, with a proud expression that must have been the same.
Sikong Yao can still understand such a simple sentence, not only the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she sighed in her heart that the British love for mashed potatoes is really boundless. (To be continued.) )
