When baking potatoes, some inexperienced cooks end up with raw and starchy potatoes.

Experienced cooks know that there are no trifles in the preparation of this vegetable; every detail is important.

Just one mistake can ruin both a regular dinner and a festive table, because potatoes are the main side dish for any occasion.

Glass form

Potatoes bake worse in a glass pan. Under certain conditions, experts say, it can even burst. Therefore, it is better to use a pan made of another material.

Crisp

The potatoes need to be marinated with butter so that the dish acquires an appetizing crispy crust.

For 3 potatoes take about 200-220 g of butter. The tubers are cut, the butter is melted, and then the vegetable is placed there and mixed.

Optionally add salt, thyme, black pepper or other ingredients to improve the taste.

Variety

This nuance plays a big role when baking. For example, for frying there is a variety called "Bora Valley", and for boiling "Riviera" is perfect.
