If you want to make fried potatoes your signature dish, then this goal can be easily achieved.
Preparing the treat is not that difficult, especially if you have already mastered the basic tricks.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti, talks about what they consist of.
How to fry potatoes perfectly every time
Try to find potatoes that are low in starch.
The main factor that is decisive for the quality of fried potatoes is the concentration of starch. The less of it, the higher the chances that the dish will be of high quality.
Therefore, try to choose the vegetable wisely.
Soak
Some people believe that only legumes and some cereals need to be treated with water, but this procedure is also necessary with potatoes.
You just need to leave the chopped and peeled potatoes in a bowl of cold water for an hour.
Napkins
But frying potatoes in a wet state is absolutely not recommended. In order to improve the quality of the dish, each vegetable bar must first be dried.
Volume
The less you fry the potatoes, the better their quality will be. Therefore, the frying pan is filled to a maximum of two-thirds.
This way you can ensure even frying.
Oil
Many people know that the cream product provides the necessary degree of aroma, flavor and helps to achieve a crust. But you can’t fry on it.
It is best to use the vegetable version and add the butter closer to the end.
Number of stirrings
If you don't want the potatoes to fall apart, don't stir them too often. The maximum you should turn the potatoes over is three times during the cooking process.
