Many people fry potatoes in a simple way - they simply place the cut pieces in a frying pan or saucepan.

Of course, such a dish will be delicious, since this technology is time-tested.

However, there is a way to make potatoes tastier, and you don’t need any special equipment for it.

It turns out that you can leave potatoes in water by adding just one ingredient to it first – garlic!

Thanks to garlic, potatoes stay fresh for a long time, and after cooking they get a pleasant garlic smell.

In fact, this technique is common in professional cooking - potatoes are soaked by experienced chefs who prepare the ingredients in advance.

Potatoes can sit in water with garlic for almost a whole day without spoiling – just take them out and start frying.

Soaking will remove some of the starch from the potatoes, making the fried potatoes very tasty and soft on the inside.
