[stoqpotz]

Me: i hate potato salad
Kenji: today we're going to make potato salad
Me: exquisite

“You’re really not eating potato salad for the health benefits anyway.” J. Kenji Lopez-Alt keeping it real as always

"It took us three days to make that potato salad! THREE DAYS!!"

[hattree]

I don't think I've ever seen someone make so little potato salad at once.

I like to think that Kenji's family is craving a certain dish and then Kenji starts to make it but then decides to make a video and then the fam has to wait 3x as long to eat the dish lol

my heart jumped at the closeness of that horizontal onion slice. that is the confidence of a man whose chef knife is an extension of his body

[Ladderphobia]

Thanks for showing all the steps to cutting. I always felt like I was slow, or over handling the vegetables. But it's encouraging to know that for cooking at home, you do the same amount.

"They will be at a... BOILING" lmao

[pyrosive]

Kenji, would love you to explain how you use and maintain your cutting boards. I've noticed you use a variety and it would be great to know how you choose which to use (veg, raw meat, general, etc.) and how you maintain them and keep them clean

i ♥ the foot tap on jamon's paw 🐶

How long until Kenji is lighting his stove with a flamethrower?

[sandrows]

What I always love about your videos is that you specify the reason behind every thing.

I was never a big fan of potato salad when I was younger, but I was tasked with making some for an office potluck a few years ago and while searching recipes online I ended up stumbling on yours off of Serious Eats. The in depth analysis you did convinced me to go with your recipe and man did it change my mind about potato salad. So freaking good! Many compliments were received by me, thank you!

Omg thank you! I was always told to put vinegar in the boiling water and my potatoes would seriously take soooo long to cook (25+ minutes), I thought I was going crazy lol. Excited to make it this way

[Bigdaddybiscuit]

How satisfying was it when all the chives popped out instantly

[SquibGourmand]

I felt validated when you dropped the potato at 0:25 because I always feel bad losing my grip when peeling anything

[loes]

I made this potato salad last week from your book, and got so many compliments from my family! They loved it 😄. Thanks Kenji!

I have not watched this video just yet but I've been binge watching your videos and I love them. I am not a chef nor have I ever worked in a restaurant in anyway but in the last few years I've really started to enjoy cooking and your tutorials are very easy to follow, ingredients are usually fairly simple and I love the Korean spins on several of your recipes. My wife and I live in a fairly small condo so I feel that my kitchen is relatively similar to your, as far as size goes so its relatable in that aspect! Lastly, love the dog!

[directorofwow]

My husband and I have made this probably 4-5 times now. We absolutely love it! It’s something we can make in a big batch and eat throughout the week. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for the comic sans warning, I definitely need to be mentally prepared for stuff like that
