Fried potatoes are one of the easiest side dishes to prepare.
To get a delicious dish, just cut the vegetable, put it on a frying pan greased with oil or lard, and wait until a golden crust appears on the potatoes.
However, potatoes are often not cooked quickly. A hungry person finds themselves in an unpleasant situation: they want to eat, but the potatoes just won't cook.
You can, of course, turn the heat up to maximum, but this will burn the potatoes or cook unevenly.
Therefore, it is advisable to choose another strategy to speed up the preparation of a fried side dish.
What is the trick
Before pouring the sliced potatoes onto a hot pan, the vegetable should be placed in a container filled with hot water. However, cold water, although it will remove excess starch, will not speed up the cooking of the potatoes.
The duration of the hot water treatment of the raw vegetable should be 3-5 minutes. After that, you can start preparing the side dish. The potatoes will fry quickly and a golden crust will appear.
