Many people do not manage to achieve a ruddy and crispy crust when frying potatoes. Most often, it turns out half-boiled or half-fried potatoes, which are often called soapy potatoes. Let's talk about the main secrets of this unpretentious dish.
Secrets of frying potatoes
- To begin with, you need to choose suitable varieties of vegetables for frying. It should be a potato with a low starch content. In order not to make a mistake, cooks recommend focusing on the "Gala" variety. It can be boiled, pureed and even fried.
- There should not be too many potatoes in the pan. Otherwise, the lower layer of vegetables is stewed, not fried, regardless of all the culinary tricks.
- If you stir the potatoes very often, they will turn out to be stewed again.
- It is recommended to salt the vegetable at the end, otherwise the potatoes may release juice and the frying process will stop again.
- In addition, many cooks advise to dry the potatoes on a paper napkin before frying, which will remove excess moisture.
