How to cook French fries

You need to take a kilo of potatoes, peel them and cut them.

The resulting pieces should be circles, each no more than half a centimeter thick.

You need to cut another vegetable - onion. It is desirable to get half rings.

The onion ingredient should be “processed” in a frying pan in which a piece of butter has been melted.

When the onion begins to become translucent, throw a couple of crushed cloves of garlic into the bowl.

As soon as the vegetable mixture becomes transparent, it should be removed from the pan.

Next, take a baking dish and begin to assemble the “potato” cake.

Place half of the potato pieces in the bottom of the container to form a round or rectangular base.

Season the nightshade with salt and pepper and add your favorite spices.

Place the previously prepared onion-garlic mixture on the resulting potato layer.

The next layer is potatoes again. The pieces should be laid out in the form of "scales".

The resulting "construction" must be filled with 400 milliliters of chicken broth. It is desirable that the upper part of the "cake" is not too soaked with this liquid.

Place the form with the "potato pie" in the oven. The temperature should be 200 degrees. The desired baking time is 35 minutes.

The result is a delicious dish. Under the golden crust is a delicate "filling".

Earlier, gourmets were told how to prepare real Tatar shurpa .
