Most gourmets are crazy about fried potatoes.
The crispy crust, which perfectly matches the soft filling, leaves almost no one indifferent.
But the dish also has a drawback: it is quite unhealthy.
And frying potatoes takes too much time for cooks.
However, all problems can be solved. It is enough to use such an "additive" as boiling water in time.
The secret of ideal fried potatoes was shared by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
What to do with potatoes before frying
The potato slices should be placed in a deep container and filled with water that has just been brought to a boil.
The vegetable pieces should be in the hot liquid for exactly 60 seconds.
Next, the water must be carefully drained and the potatoes dried.
Why pour boiling water over raw potatoes
“Processing” potatoes with boiling water is a very important procedure: thanks to it, the vegetable gets rid of excess starch and at the same time is partially cooked.
Due to this, several positive results are achieved at once.
Firstly, the potato slices will not stick together while frying.
Secondly, the nightshade will be fried twice as fast as usual.
Thirdly, the absence of excess starch makes potatoes healthier: there are fewer calories.
