Barry, when deep frying I have always found it's better to start with the basket already in there and lower the food in slowly yourself. Especially when doing things with wet batters because there's more of a chance it will cook into the basket, causing you a lot more washing up time later. I'm sure it wouldn't have changed anything here, just a tip when you are deep frying in the future 😁👍

Usually fries are cut out of whole uncooked potatoes, so they would naturally hold their shape. Those are often fried twice as well. As for stuff that is mashed and then fried, mostly that's indeed been chilled, then dipped in flour and eggwash and then into either breadcrumbs or flour again before being fried. (which I was kinda waiting for in this video, before they were dunked in the oil without a coating 🙈😅

I'd have lined the mould with either semolina or potato starch first. instant coating of future crunch 👍 (water absorbtion = key) and instead of using butter, I'd have used veg oil. I wouldn't have put milk in it. steam potatoes - it's actually quicker and doesn't need draining - gives a better drier potato for frying.

Barry - Fun vid, as always. I'm assuming the vinegar you added was Malt Vinegar, so standard for chips in the UK, but barely heard of here in the States. I love it and it is actually my 'go to' vinegar for just about anything. I'm not sure how this relates, but I once made a 'scalloped potato' dish that I added some vinegar to, at the start, and no matter how long I cooked it, the potatoes never became tender. A useful bit of information that I have never found a use for, other than to only add any acid to a potato dish, after it is cooked. Since, the mash you added vinegar to, was already cooked, it probably meant nothing, but I'm still looking for a use for currently useless knowledge (other than precautionary). I too, have been gathering some silicone molds, such as yours, with visions of making some chocolate confections, or maybe jello shots (a thick gelatin and booze thing), or maybe cheesecakes with, that when frozen, could be dipped in chocolate. None of which I've done yet, but now you've got me thinking, perhaps putting a standard 'tater tot' mix to the molds, might be fun. Once frozen, a dip in a corn starch slurry before hitting the deep fryer, might be useful. As well, how would vinegar play out in terms of tater tots? Your daughter is a hoot and a half - and obviously, naturally funny. Also, your dog (Boston?), looks like the perfect cartoon character, should anyone need one. I'm constantly putting 'thought balloons' over his head, filled with wise cracks about the mess you've gotten yourself into. As said, fun video, thanks.

Interesting idea - but couldn't you add egg to the mashed potatoes to give it some binding strength? Eggs are typically added to a meatloaf to help bind, so can't see why egg in the mashed potatoes wouldn't help... especially since you're cooking the mashed potatoes again anyway. (and then baked to "dry out" and deep fried for crispyness...) Always love your videos!

I wonder how mashing a potato and filling spoon-shaped moulds would compare to carving an uncooked potato into spoons. Working with that level of detail would require a very sharp knife, so you'd have to be extra careful of course, but I think they'd be more stable. You'd be left with scraps of the potato that don't fit either I suppose. Bit of a waste, but you could probably find something to do with those scraps.
