Fried potatoes are a dish familiar to many, but they require special attention.
Simple secrets and culinary tricks will help you fry potatoes deliciously and not spoil them.
What do you need to fry potatoes?
Root vegetables of the same size, so that the bars turn out identical, sunflower oil, a paper towel, a frying pan and some time.
How to Prepare Potatoes for Frying
Cut the potatoes into slices, sticks, strips, dry on a paper towel to remove excess moisture, otherwise you won’t get a crispy crust.
What oil to use for frying
An important ingredient is sunflower oil. We choose a product from a trusted manufacturer, without smell and taste, otherwise the potatoes will turn out tasteless.
Time to fry potatoes
Fry the potato sticks over high heat for the first 5-7 minutes. We achieve a delicate golden crust. Then you can turn the sticks over for even frying on all sides.
Continue frying for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, avoiding burning, stirring the potatoes in time, but do not add salt, otherwise the product will absorb a lot of oil and will turn out loose.
Add spices, herbs and salt to the potatoes 3-5 minutes before they are ready. A clever trick will help keep the potatoes crispy and fill them with delicious aromas.
Lifehack with a lid
If you don’t cover the pan with a lid, the potatoes will turn out golden brown, juicy and crispy, unlike those cooked under a lid.
