TikTok chef “Meals with Max” has shared his secret recipe that takes Father’s Day roast to a whole new level — and it has a pretty surprising added twist.
Mastering roast potatoes is no easy task.
In fact, the ideal potato is crisp on the outside and fluffy within, making or breaking that Sunday roast, but now one chef’s bold recipe could take your potatoes to new heights – and it’s sure to delight dad this Father’s Day.
Believe it or not, this simply inflates the size of the potato. We’ve all heard of potato jackets, but “Max” claims that these giant potatoes can be used for much more grandiose purposes.
“Have you ever had a giant roast potato?” Max posted on his TikTok account @mealswithmax. “It’s basically like a potato without the skin, so it’s essentially a roast potato, only giant.”
First, Max takes a regular baked potato and peels it with a peeler. Then he places the potato in a pot of boiling water that’s been seasoned with two cloves of garlic, two sprigs of thyme, and a sprig of rosemary.
Max also adds a pinch of salt before simmering the potatoes for 10 to 15 minutes. “After 10 minutes or so,” he continues, “drain them, steam them dry, shake them a bit to ruffle the edges, drizzle a little oil on top, sprinkle a little salt on top and bake in the air fryer or in the oven at 200 degrees for around 30 minutes.”
Once the timer goes off, Max says the giant potatoes will be golden and crispy and ready to eat, but he doesn’t stop there, explaining: “I’ve cooked up some pigs in a blanket to put on top, sliced the potatoes and put loads of butter on them. It’s a really healthy dish.”
“… topped with cheese and topped with a maxi SPG [salt, pepper, garlic]pigs in blankets, a little honey, rosemary and thyme, a little gravy and it’s done. Delicious!”
As expected, Max’s recipe was an instant hit online, with thousands of commenters eager to try it for themselves. “Oh my goodness a giant roast this should be a hit,” one person wrote, while another chimed in: “Make this for your next dinner.”
