At the end of the day, I’m just a meat and potatoes man.

ok - I know they are taters. I WISH they were scallops.
Gimme the scoop on the taters - what are they & how do you do what you do to them ?

Classic French preparation “pommes fondant” or melting potatoes. They are so out of fashion that they’re back in fashion. Like parsley scattered on a plate.
Cut russets into little can shapes, then sear hard on one side, I use avocado oil. Season heavily. Once they get a crust and release, flip them over and sear the other side for a while. Then add butter and aromatics, I like garlic and thyme. Then baste with the butter for a while until the butter bubbles all go away. After that, add some stock and toss in the oven for about 45 min until hellasoft.
Boom, fondant potatoes.

I got my pans from the restaurant supply store. Aluminum core, stainless, for 1/20th the price of the Williams Sonoma brands. I have some nicer ceramic coated Dutch ovens & a few other pieces, but a sauté pan gets used hard. Way easier to part with a worn out one when you didn’t spend $200 on it

do the same thing. Food equipment Co. in Greenville rocks. Great place for nice restaurant-grade baking sheets too. They're a fortune for some reason on the retail market.

I loaded up on new sheet pans, saute pans, wire cooking racks, cambro pans, cutting boards… it was a haul, for less than a 10 piece calphalon set that wears out just as fast

In Calphalon's defense,

I'm on my third set of cookware from them, despite only ever buying one. (well, not really buying---we registered for it for our wedding 23 years ago). Their warranty is no questions asked and legit.
But yeah, I wouldn't pop for them these days if buying.

Alabama. You've inspired me to try those potatoes. I enjoy cooking but don't get to do as much of it as I'd like these days and am nowhere near your level.
Is this a safe place to ask a stupid question? I frequently see references to "balsamic." Is that the same thing as balsamic vinegar?
