Amount of oil

Many people save oil to make the potatoes less harmful. However, in this case, it is more reasonable to bake, boil or stew them.

Fry the potatoes in a large amount of oil. Otherwise, the dish will turn out mediocre.

Temperature

In order for the potatoes to be fried well, the frying pan is heated thoroughly. Only then can you pour in the oil and heat it up again.
