MasterChef Potatoes

The potatoes wouldn't puff when Nick DiGiovanni needed them to. In "MasterChef Potatoes," he revisits the appetizer that caused him trouble during the show's finale, then returns to his own kitchen for a little redemption. The new Short has drawn nearly half a million views in just over two hours.

Archival footage shows Gordon Ramsay and Aarón Sánchez beside the struggling contestant. Back home, Nick dusts potato slices with starch, layers them and cuts out rounds. Into hot oil they go, swelling into golden pommes soufflées that he stacks in his hand before showing them plated over white rice.

His explanation is less technical: "Turns out cooking is also way easier when you don't have Gordon Ramsay screaming in your ear." Viewers are discussing competition nerves, while others spot a resemblance to India's golgappa. This time, the potatoes have delivered the puff he wanted.
