In order for fried potatoes to always turn out beautiful and tasty, you must definitely purchase the right cookware for preparing the dish.
However, having a high-quality frying pan does not guarantee that the root vegetable will turn out golden and crispy.
What tricks of experienced cooks can help
For golden color
It is relatively easy to give the desired shade of color - you need to introduce a special "coloring" component with a neutral taste. We are talking about turmeric.
The spice will help to emphasize the taste of potatoes and color them in a golden hue. If you don’t have turmeric on hand, you can turn to curry. However, you should be prepared for the fact that the dish will turn out a little spicy and aromatic.
For crust formation
Potatoes are traditionally fried in vegetable oil, as it has a high smoke point. As a result, the desired degree of frying can be achieved.
However, this will not ensure that a crust will form.
Therefore, experienced cooks add a few cubes of butter during frying. The taste of the potatoes will become richer and more noble. The root vegetable will also have a wonderful crispy crust.
