DISHES   :    MAKING ONE OF THE WEIRDEST / BEST MCDONALD'S BURGERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD 

HELLO AND WELLCOME TO COOKING KI DUNYA

 my friend said in the Germany McDonald's makes something called a big roasty and it sounded so good we're gonna make it it didn't just sound good because of the name it sounded good from the explanation that came from Mark premzawar said McDonald's and Germany's been serving the big roasty for 10 years consists of a hamburger patty white cheese sauce bacon and a potato roasty which is essentially a hash brown and I don't think it's a morning thing I think it's just a think thing all day and it sounds great so we'll make our own hash brown to go in it and then there's bacon and you know we're going to do something to the bun to make it look like the bun that they use and it's all going to be freaking delicious we start with the hash browns though because they need a little bit of time in the freezer just to firm up a bit firm up a bit our work begins with two peeled potatoes and a box grater and I'm just gonna grate these right onto my sheet pan notice I'm using the large holes as opposed to the dinky holes or the medium small holes or these single never use that guy in fact I've never used that guy but whatever you do don't shred your hands have such a fear of that man getting scared ah okay and the other one it's quite a messy job isn't it and when you're done we go immediately into some boiling water like this you can see they started to turn color some of the first ones but that's okay because this is going to be a hash brown so I'm not too concerned about that but what we're doing at this point is we're letting them cook a little bit just a few minutes this will help them stay nice soft on the inside of our hash brown but get crispy on the outside and at the end of three over we come right into a colander it's in my sink and they go let the water drain well and it can cool for a couple of minutes in the interim we'll start some bacon our Bacon needs are twofold first we need some slices for the big roasty itself so I'll just get these guys in here I don't need too many but probably six of these should be fine the other thing we need is a little very finely chopped bacon for the bun I'll explain that in a bit so we'll just start that cooking cook those cook that take them out when they're ready and we're there so we'll get the slices out so the crumbles are done I'm trying to preserve some of the grease in here because we will use this grease along with more oil to fry the roasty so I'm trying to preserve it okay that's good we're set here put this off to the side kill the heat for now and we move on with our potatoes all right to get crispy potatoes to get crispy hash browns we got to get rid of the water in here I apologize for the gardeners next door so best thing to do dump them on a towel fold up the sides and then using the pot squeeze so you need to wait a bit because they're still [ __ ] hot oh look at that sludge wait okay these can go into our Bowl now I'm gonna add a few other things all right first in will be about a quarter of an onion just for a little extra flavor a couple tablespoons of corn starch some of our BFF best [ __ ] flavor a little smoked paprika and then a beaten egg but I only have one egg and I need some for the top of the bun I'm Gonna Keep a little back or Miss we can mix now look you can see it's pretty wet I could take spoonfuls of this and go right into a pan and Pat it down a little bit and it would be great but I want them to have more shape than just be random so here's my move you did a piece of parchment and now I'm gonna try and get these into a couple nice little piles so I can make two in case I up one proximate bun size okay these guys go into my freezer I will give them about a half an hour to an hour or so our cheese sauce begins with some butter a couple tablespoons or what I think is a couple tablespoons and when it melts we give it a couple tablespoons of flour and that looks like this gently over the top now over the next couple minutes the flour gets absorbed into this melty butter and becomes a thick ass paste like that so you want to work it so there isn't flour visible to work it all in takes on this little bit darker color beautiful we can add some milk like a little at a time because it seizes up right away you add the liquid and then this happens look now it's this thick porridge but we'll help it with more milk and we're just mixing this is when you want to take your time because you don't want lumpy cheese sauce so just work it in really well a little bit more milk now you never thinking oh Sam now you  yourself because now look how liquidy it is well you're forgetting it's cheese sauce there's no cheese yet and that will start putting in a little at a time in the form of some shredded sharp cheddar for me this is satisfying work more cheese oh I can smell it already the sharp Cheddar's coming through this so just keep this going it's going to thicken a little bit more naturally this would be a good time to season it grab a little pinch your BFF and a little hit of garlic powder just a little quarter teaspoon maybe you don't want to overtake this we just leave this gently on low and let's make our bun like the German big roasty bun looks like here's the deal this is our bun it's very nice it's not like the bun that they use for the big roasty theirs has cheese and bacon melted baked into the top of it so we're going to do that here's this little bit of extra egg that we saved over that I added just a tiny bit of water to it's definitive bit and now we go like this vague is going to help this stuff stick so now we'll do just a little bit of cheese and a little bit of bacon I know I'm going to lose some so just a little bit extra my oven's on at about 400. I'm going to put this in my oven for three minutes just until this melts sticks I come back and we start to cook and after three minutes there's our bun it's beautiful looks just like theirs okay but now our hash browns and here they are firmed up they could use more thyme but hey we want to eat so let's put them in my oil is hot and we go one and two beautiful so golden brown on both sides probably take five six minutes but tell you what why don't we get our Patty on first comes our oil we spread it and there we go I made it a third of a pound I'm not sure what McDonald's does but that was my plan then after uh two and a half minutes or so oh yeah that's beautiful oh mother God you know not only is it going to be flavor but it's going to be that crispy texture that's on the outside of this it's gonna Aid to everything being great eh it's gonna help everything be great sure all right time to flip nice crust lovely all right now look in my research I see that some of the roasties come with what appears to be American cheese on it but Mark said it was a white cheese sauce so I'm doing both because that seems like the right move and our hash browns are ready to come out and I'm just going to put them right on here so they can drain a little bit wow this is gonna be good and a little bit of salt and pepper you know while they're hot that's when it sucks it in all right off to the side Burger's almost ready we're almost ready we're almost there how about we get a little color on our bun from the grease that's coming off the Patty great this guy's ready and that means so are we here we go fun ready and I don't know what they do with theirs but I'm all about a little extra creaminess so a little mayo and I don't have a spoon right now so I'll use my little knife now we come in with our beautiful Patty with the first cheese followed up by a magnificent roasty I love that remember bacon everybody remembers our bacon this from so long ago okay bacon how do I not have a spoon nope I got this are you sure yes you're well I'm a little I'm I'm in my head right now thinking about what could go wrong with this cheese that will make you mad try to keep it sort of centralized and now our beautiful top Vine ladies and gentlemen will come in welcome the gentleman uh big roasty well this is it I'm quite happy with the way it turned out it's a big boy it's a large boy let's try this kid shall we right there I like when you can see all the layers the beef the cheese the roasty the sauce the bacon and this beautiful work on the bun top by the way cook beautifully it's a Dream It's a dripping  dream oh my God why is it so good the texture of the roasty is great oh and by the way the onion the little bit of onion makes a lot of difference in the hash brown bacon the top it's just a great combination of flavors you know I don't know what it tastes like at McDonald's in Germany or Austria or wherever else you can get the big roasting that one day we'll find out one day but if it's half as good as this they're on their  all right everybody thanks for hanging out donate the same thing all the time and don't season the same way all the time go to shopsdcg.com and get your BFF we put that shirt on everything foreign
