The ability to cook excellent quality potatoes should be basic for every housewife.
After all, this product often serves as a universal side dish.
Therefore, it is worth knowing about the main culinary secrets, says chef Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
What do they consist of?
If you want to make the potatoes crumbly
In this case, it is important to monitor the intensity of the fire: crumbly potatoes are boiled at a moderate boil. Part of the liquid after boiling is drained, wait 10 minutes for the vegetable to simmer. Then add milk with medium fat content.
Before this, the dish is salted so that the potatoes do not turn out bland.
If it is important to keep the potatoes intact
In this case, during the cooking process, add components to the pan that prevent the potatoes from boiling over. For example, you can add one spoon of lemon juice.
The brine left over from sauerkraut will have a similar effect.
You can also add salt before boiling. Sometimes a little vinegar is added to preserve the integrity of the vegetable.
