The ability to fry potatoes deliciously and well will always come in handy: at any time you can offer your family an impressive and inexpensive dish.
However, there are a number of subtleties in preparing this treat that will allow you to achieve impressive results.
What do they consist of?
Thickness of bars when cutting
It is important to understand that large pieces of potatoes are unlikely to be fried well. If your goal is to create a crust and achieve tender flesh inside, then there is a certain standard.
If you follow this rule, the thickness should remain around 7-8 mm. In this case, the potatoes will be perfectly fried.
Water
To make fried potatoes incredibly tasty, after cutting them, first pour water over them and then keep them in a container with liquid for at least a quarter of an hour.
This is an important rule that should not be ignored.
Correct frying technique
Choose a sturdy dish: the bottom should be thick to maintain the optimal temperature. Pour in the vegetable oil. For a more pleasant taste, also melt either a piece of lard or butter.
Place the potatoes in one layer. The fire should be strong. Wait for seven minutes and stir. Then reduce it and wait for 10 minutes. Add the onion. Wait for the same amount of time.
During this time, you can shake the potatoes a couple of times instead of stirring. Add salt and spices. After five minutes, the potatoes can be turned off.
