One recipe that has gone viral on the app on a number of occasions is the ’15-hour potato’ dish, posted by Poppy O’Toole, a.k.a. poppycooks.
As the name suggests, the overall process of making this dish takes about 15 hours, and although the length of time might sound daunting, the end product is totally worth it.
The recipe involves thinly slicing potatoes, mixing them with melted beef dripping, and then layering the coated slices into a parchment paper-lined loaf pan.
Then, you bake the potatoes for about three hours until tender, after which, you compress the potatoes using cans or similar objects, and put it in the fridge to set for about 12 hours. You can then cut the potatoes into sections, and fry them in a deep fryer or pot until golden.

Many users have reported loving this viral recipe, and some have even made videos of their own showing their attempts at making the dish.
