Sous Vide Baby Potatoes
Today I am going to show you how to make the most amazing soft and tender baby potatoes in the Sous Vide. Baby potatoes is one of my all-time favourite side dishes when I eat out with the family.
They are normally a side for fillet steak and I always get as excited over the garlic butter potatoes as I do the actual fillet steak. It’s one of my all-time comfort foods. At the restaurant we eat out at, its unlimited baby potatoes and its wrong NOT to have seconds!
But because people love to microwave garlic baby potatoes or oven cook them, they are often available sealed from the supermarket and ready for cooking and perfect for the Sous Vide.
You then don’t have any prep to do and you can have your favourite baby potatoes whenever you like. Its also a brilliant starting point for getting to know your Sous Vide.
Also, you could use this standard recipe for any of your favourite types of potatoes in the Sous Vide such as crushed potatoes, mashed potatoes, or even roasted potatoes. You would just finish the cooking process after the Sous Vide.

Where To Source QUALITY Sous Vide Equipment?

We have:
These and a good pair of tongs and scissors is what we have been using while we have been experimenting and learning about the Sous Vide way of cooking. We have also created a blog post, that is dedicated to the Sous Vide Starter Kit. We hope it helps you get started with your own Sous Vide home cooking.
Sous Vide Baby Potatoes Temperature?
We cooked our Sous Vide Baby Potatoes at 84 degrees Celsius for 3 hours. This produced tender potatoes that were worthy of a restaurant meal or a dinner party. Though do note, this is a hotter temperature than some of our other Sous Vide recipes and you will want to use tongs to put the food in or out of the water bath otherwise you will burn yourself.
