I like how Mike Ben and Barry say that they're making a dish but actually they just watch Ben do it in these types of videos

Guys, ghee isn't supposed to smell or taste rancid at all! It has a certain fragrance which is very different from butter, but it's not unpleasant whatsoever. The taste is also very subtle. Maybe the ghee you used was off!
Great video! I always get so excited when I see Indian food on your channel because I love seeing how you interpret the dishes I often eat at home :)

We use a lot of potatoes in Sweden, mainly just boiled or mashed and served as a side, but there's some amazing traditional dishes where the main star is potatoes.

My favourite is probably Pitepalt, which I think is best described as a kind of potato knödel, usually filled with salted, sometimes smoked, fatty pork. It's very dense and very filling, in the food coma you get from eating more than a few is often called 'paltsvimmning' (palt-coma, sort of).
There are many different varieties on the same theme, and in the southern parts of Sweden they have a similar dish, made partially or entirely with boiled potatoes, called 'kroppkakor'.

Another amazing dish, which I'm sure is part of many different cuisines, is Raggmunk, which is essentially a pancake with grated potatoes in it.

...Potatoes are the best.

I like how you make simple potato curry sound so special. I make your "Bombay aloo" at least once a week because it's like Indian cooking 101. Literally it's the first thing I learned to cook which didn't require a microwave! My method is slightly different, I first fry the black mustard seeds, split head daal, and jeera in ghee or olive oil and while they're cooking I add in asofoetida. Then I pan fry my potatoes and while they're cooking I mix in the spices which includes turmeric and other things (my grandmother grinds her own spices and mails them to me so I don't know what they're called in English). Then when that's nearly done u add in the mustard seed mix which cooked separately and there's a beautiful sizzle. You then eat it with a rice dish like rasam or sambar or even something simple like lemon rice

Just something about those British accents makes everything sound delicious when cooking.

My husband's family is Norwegian in heritage and they make some fantastic things with potatoes, including Lefse, which I've always described as kind of a potato tortilla. We've always served them lightly buttered, with a bit of sugar sprinkled inside, and rolled up.

Another family favorite are Potato Pierogi (yes, I know these aren't precisely Norwegian, but still delicious). After boiling them, pan fry them in a bit of butter and serve them with a wee dollop of sour cream and chopped chives.

And finally, a last family favorite are Hasselback or "Accordion" potatoes. Peel medium potatoes, make several sliced three-quarters of the way through the potato, gently separate the slices but don't pull them apart from the potato as a whole. Bake them in a buttered baking dish, spooning some of the butter over the potatoes periodically. After about 30 minutes, sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs and bake again for 25 minutes or so.

You forgot to mention 'potato printing'. When you cut a potato in half as use it as a paint stamp.

Love your 3 things series so far! I have to *clarify*: Ghee is never fermented. Ever. Sometimes the jarred stuff you buy in stores tastes rancid, but that's because it is.
Real ghee is basically just clarified butter (some people prefer to use cultured butter) that's allowed to carmelize with the milk solids in it and then strained. It should taste and smell nutty and sweet.

I love making "Bratkartoffeln" (Raw Potatoes, baked in a pan in Butter, with Salt and Pepper) with Tzaziki (Yoghurt, curd, oil, vinegar, Salt, Pepper, Herbs). It's a German dish with my twist. I also love making oven baked potato-wedges.
If you are allergic to lots of food, you get to love potatoes :)

I used the gnocci recipe and served it with your braised beef - by far my favourite combination of recipes. It you fry the gnocchi so that they are a bit crispy the texture of the combined dish is fantastic.
