Many cooks know about the wonderful combination of fried potatoes and onions.

However, the side dish can be made even more appetizing. To do this, you need to replace the onion component with another vegetable.

As a result, the dish will acquire a piquancy that will be appreciated by many gourmets.

In addition, the potatoes will definitely not contain burnt onion pieces, which often spoil the side dish.

The fact is that the spicy vegetable goes well with potatoes even better than onions.

The prepared side dish will be a luxurious dish that you won’t be embarrassed to offer to your guests.

How to use the ingredient correctly

The first important nuance is the time of adding garlic. The spicy vegetable should be in the pan about 60 seconds before the end of cooking.

A minute of heat treatment will be enough for the garlic to “share” its piquancy with the nightshade.

The second recommendation is not to crush the vegetable with a garlic press. If you use this utensil, you will get a "porridge" that simply will not have time to properly distribute over the side dish.

But if you chop the garlic, there will be no problems with adding the ingredient to the pan.
