Fried potatoes are considered a basic dish, as many people want to treat themselves to this simple but tasty treat from time to time.

However, not every housewife can make perfect fried potatoes.

The thing is that there are a number of rules and nuances that we do not always follow. For example, an experienced cook will not salt potatoes while frying.

What is this connected with?

At first glance, it may seem that this statement looks wrong, since fried potatoes definitely should not be bland.

However, it is precisely because of the salt that the dish begins to fall apart.

An unappetizing fried mass does not look good on a plate. Therefore, it is best to add salt when the dish is ready. This is how fast food chefs do it when preparing French fries: salt is the very last ingredient

If you are worried that the potatoes may still turn out too bland, you can add salt to the dish a few minutes before the end of cooking. The vegetable will retain its shape and will be delicious.
