TikTok star Poppy O'Toole (@PoppyCooks on TikTok and @Poppy_Cooks on Instagram) is a Michelin-trained chef, cookbook author and self-proclaimed "Potato Queen." After the Birmingham, England native lost her job during the pandemic, she started making cooking videos on TikTok, and her potato recipes proved especially popular. In fact, this viral potato dish—basically, a loaf of slow-baked buttered potato slices that's cut into slabs and deep-fried until golden and crispy—has gotten the most views of all, more than 60 million and counting since last year!
As Poppy describes it, "It's just simplicity and perfection and anything you could want in a spud." She says you can serve it with anything you fancy, but it's also good enough to eat on its own. We're sold!
Pro Tip from Poppy: You need to work fast after heating the beef drippings because it sets quickly. You can always reheat it on the stove or in the microwave, if needed. If you can't get beef drippings or tallow (rendered fat), use another type of fat or oil.
