Before you put the potato wedges in the frying pan, you should pour boiling water over them for a while.
Thanks to this procedure, the vegetable will be freed from excess starch.
And the effect will be much more serious than simply washing the nightshade.
However, “hot” processing must be carried out correctly.
How to carry out the procedure correctly
The peeled tubers need to be cut into strips. The resulting pieces need to be washed with cold water and put into a saucepan.
The contents of the container should be filled with boiling water.
Next, place the pan on the hotplate. As soon as the water starts boiling again, stop the heating process. Drain the contents of the container into a colander.
After this, the potato pieces must be placed in a preheated frying pan.
What effects will be achieved?
Boiling water will remove excess starch from the potatoes. As a result, the pieces will not stick together during frying.
In addition, the dish will be less harmful and less caloric.
Treating the vegetable with boiling water provides another interesting effect: frying potatoes will take half as much time as usual.
