Double-fried, skins and all: Shereen's French fries draw a crowd

A butternut squash soup with what she calls a fancy twist and a short on prepping ahead for guests rounded out her three uploads.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The BEST French Fries

Among the cooking channels around her size, Shereen's is one of the few running well above its usual pace: the channel is drawing about twice its normal daily views, while Rainbow Plant Life, Mini Cakes and Early American sit a little below theirs. Shef_Phoenix and Chef Thomson are the ones having the really loud weeks in the group.

The reason is a potato. "The BEST French Fries" went up on September 29 and is close to 600,000 views four days later, still the busiest video on the channel by a distance. The comments read like a kitchen table conversation. Viewers single out the double fry as the tip they had never thought of, and one asks whether anyone on Top Chef ever brought up a pinch of baking soda. A long side thread is about the peels: Canadians describe pub-style potato skins with cheese and bacon, others say to fry or roast them into crisps. Several people simply envy whoever gets to taste test.

The soup came next. "Time to get your soup on!" is a butternut squash soup billed as having a fancy twist, and it found a solid crowd in its first day, the kind of thing October was made for. Earlier in the week, a short of prep-ahead tips for entertaining fits her own description of herself: a cook with years in fine dining, test kitchens and live TV food styling, now teaching from her own kitchen. Even the September tomato canning video is still finding people.
