Why experienced cooks add flour when frying potatoes: not everyone knows about it

To make perfect fried potatoes, cooks use various tricks and secrets.

Some of them are widespread.

So, for a golden color and crust, it is customary to add butter with turmeric. In order to give an unusual flavor, potatoes are fried in a mixture of vegetable oil and melted lard.

However, not all housewives know why flour should be added when preparing a dish, noted Yulia Arkhipova, an expert on culinary issues for the online publication BelNovosti.

What are the benefits of using flour?

As it turns out, thanks to flour, potatoes are fried perfectly. Sometimes it happens that part of the dish is cooked, and the rest remains raw.

Also, under the delicious crust, the potatoes may still be raw.

In this case, flour will come to the rescue.

First, wash the potatoes, keep them in water for about 20 minutes and dry them with paper towels. Then put them in a colander, season them and add a spoonful of flour. Try to distribute the mixture evenly.

Then you can begin the frying process.
