Many housewives like butter for its special aroma, taste and texture that the product gives to the finished dish.

However, despite all the advantages of oil, it is not recommended to fry with it.

The creamy product cannot withstand high temperatures, begins to burn and release harmful substances.

It is especially dangerous to use butter when frying for a long time: in this case, the entire dish can burn. However, many cooks still use the product when frying potatoes.

Why use oil in this case?

Potatoes become much more appetizing and delicious when using butter. The vegetable gets a delicate flavor that will make the side dish simply unforgettable.

But this is not the only reason to use oil.

It is believed that the product can give potatoes a beautifully colored crust.

How to use oil correctly

It is definitely not worth using a butter product as the only fat for frying: the dish will simply burn. You can first heat up the vegetable oil, and then melt a piece of butter.

There is another cooking option. First, fry the potatoes in vegetable oil, and during the cooking process, add a piece of butter. In both cases, the result will be similar.
