Simmer Down 🍷🍴episode 1

Hiiii welcome to Simmer Down, my new series dedicated to cozy nights at home, cooking deliciously elaborate dishes — because staying in is IN, and treating yourself to hours in the kitchen is the ultimate vibe!!

Tonight’s menu: Pot Roast & Crispy Smashed Potatoes🍷🥩🥔

I started with a gorgeous grass-fed bottom round steak and some chopped carrots, seared the steak, deglazed the pan with red wine, and slow-roasted it at a gentle heat for 3 hours until perfectly tender.

Halfway through, I made these unbelievably crispy smashed potatoes:
-Boil potatoes in salted water with a pinch of baking soda (this helps make them extra crispy!)
-Drain, smash gently, drizzle generously with olive oil, sprinkle with flaky salt, pepper, and a little parmigiano
-Bake at 400°F for about 25 minutes until the edges start to turn a nice deep golden color

I had to start this series bc even though I am a pastry chef, I love to cook too. Life is too short to be eating dry grilled chicken breast for every meal 😃
