WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.090 --> 00:00:04.635 A wise man once said, 2 00:00:04.635 --> 00:00:06.735 "No dish is complete without potatoes." 3 00:00:06.735 --> 00:00:07.650 I don't know who said that, 4 00:00:07.650 --> 00:00:09.030 but I think they could be right. 5 00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:10.785 Of course, you can boil potatoes and 6 00:00:10.785 --> 00:00:12.570 add enough butter, great. 7 00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:15.060 By peeling the potatoes in the way 8 00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:17.220 that we do in this recipe, and then boiling 9 00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:22.310 them quite hard with water and butter, while stirring it... 10 00:00:22.310 --> 00:00:24.915 it breaks down the outside of the potato, 11 00:00:24.915 --> 00:00:28.020 and the potato's starch emulsifies 12 00:00:28.020 --> 00:00:29.820 the butter and the water, and you just get 13 00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:34.960 a really dirty boiled buttered potato.
