Recipe for Potatoes "a la Pushkin"

First, the vegetable must be boiled. Important: do not peel the potatoes before boiling.

In other words, you need to cook boiled potatoes in their skins.

As soon as the nightshade is ready, it should be removed from the pan.

Then you need to wait until the vegetable cools down. However, you can speed up the process: cool the potatoes by placing them in a bag and pouring cold water over them.

The next step is to cut the vegetable into circles. The resulting pieces should be fried in butter or lard.

The end result will be a fragrant dish. Its appearance and consistency will be ideal: under the golden crust is crumbly pulp.
