Technique Monday: Sautéing Potatoes
Blind-Friendly, Sensory-Led Cook-Along | Unseen Cuisine
On this Technique Monday, Chef Riq breaks down how to sauté potatoes using sound, touch, aroma, and timing — not sight.
Learn how to choose the right potato, cut for even cooking, control heat, and build a golden crust without guessing. You’ll understand why potatoes stick before they release, how the sizzle signals browning, and when aroma tells you it’s time to flip.
This episode teaches control — of moisture, heat, and patience — so your potatoes come out crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside every time.
Technique builds confidence.
Cooking isn’t about sight — it’s about awareness.
Join us on Wednesday for Flavor Lab, where we break down the science behind that sizzle.
