If the vegetables turn out to be too dry or burnt during baking, this indicates that the hostess makes mistakes during cooking. But experienced cooks know a few tricks that will save the day when cooking.
The trick is the first
It should be taken into account that the root vegetable likes to be baked in large slices.
Thin particles will quickly burn or be very dry.
Friend's trick
Potato is a vegetable that loves oil when cooking. Therefore, it is considered a big mistake not to grease it with oil when baking or not to marinate it.
The third trick
Potatoes, when they are placed on a baking sheet, should not only be clean, but also dry. Moisture will repel the oil, and as a result, the particles will begin to burn.
The fourth trick
Vegetables should be blanched. Potato slices are dipped in cold water, boiled for 3-5 minutes. As soon as they cool down, you need to remove excess liquid with the help of napkins. After that, you can proceed to baking.
Thanks to this, the potatoes will not lose their shape, they will be tender and crispy, and they will absorb the oil better.
Trick five
The paper or baking form should also be greased with oil before placing it in the oven.
If there is a fear of drying out the dish, you can put a container with water in the oven.
