There are many tricks to cooking fried potatoes that many people don't even know about. So it's worth understanding why it's better not to turn the potatoes over during cooking.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - cook, fourth-category baker told how to deliciously fry potatoes.
Even roasting
One of the main arguments in favor of turning potatoes while frying is to ensure even frying.
However, in reality, potatoes can be fried evenly and without constant turning if the frying mode is chosen correctly and enough oil or fat is used.
Creating a crispy crust
Turning the potatoes while frying can cause them to lose their crispiness.
Constantly moving the potatoes around can cause them to lose their crispy crust. The principle here is: less is more.
Preserves moisture and texture
When potatoes are fried on one side, moisture is retained inside them, which helps to keep them tender and juicy.
Constant turning can lead to moisture loss and drying out.
Saving time and effort
Not having to constantly turn the potatoes while frying also saves time and effort.
Instead of watching each piece of potato and turning it over, you can simply leave it in the pan and do other things while it fries.
