Apples & oranges, to be fair. You can’t compare a cream process with a simple fat process, especially when the latter is a minimalist approach and the former is recognized almost solely by its presentation. All due respect, but the critique sounds more like a preference, underneath. I hope you try this recipe again and pull from the constructive advice elsewhere in this thread. Good luck! Have fun!
Not quite Hasselbeck is about maximizing butter and surface area. It’s why it pairs so well with butter baste and reverse sear. It’s a baked potato that maximizes surface area and then gets butter basted. People are acting like slicing a potato is work, it’s 5 mins max for a perfectionist. Most times I’m doing the slices on the first side’s sear.
