Fried potatoes are loved by both adults and children. And it’s no surprise: the side dish is relatively easy to prepare and very appetizing.
True, sometimes the dish turns out not to be as tasty as expected.
This happens when the potato slices are too “sticky”.
The pieces start to stick to each other and to the surface of the frying pan. As a result, the vegetable burns on one side and retains its "cheese" on the other.
However, professional cooks and experienced housewives easily avoid this unpleasant phenomenon. The secret is in the preliminary processing of potatoes.
What to do with potatoes before frying
Don't rush to put the sliced nightshade into the frying pan.
First, the potato pieces should be freed from excess starch: this is what causes the “stickiness”.
First, you need to wash the potatoes. The water used for this should be of low temperature.
Next, remove excess moisture. It is enough to lay the washed potato slices on a paper napkin. The same material should be placed on top.
After some time, the vegetable pieces will become dry. And then they will be ready for heat treatment.
The potato slices will not stick to anything, resulting in a perfect side dish.
