Instructions
Step 1
Before you start slicing, you must thoroughly wash the potatoes. Some housewives clean it first and then wash it, but this is wrong. On the surface of the root crop, in addition to the ground, there may be residues of mineral fertilizers. Some of them go to the cleaned surface. Therefore, potatoes are washed 2 times - before and after peeling.
Step 2
To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, the washed vegetable must be put on a towel before slicing, it will absorb the water. It is she who can cause the chopped root vegetable to stick to the surface of the pan during frying.
Step 3
If you want to feast on fried potatoes after 5 minutes, then cut the tuber into slices 2 mm thick. This can be done by hand or carefully with a special float, as the blades are very sharp. Now the circles are quickly fried in hot sunflower oil in a pan on both sides and are ready in 5 minutes.
Step 4
The traditional way of slicing potatoes is with cubes. First, the root crop is cut into circles, 0.5-0.9 mm wide. Then they are laid horizontally and shredded into strips of the same width. Root crops are also cut with crowbars. First - in half, and then, like an apple, into slices.
Step 5
In addition to the traditional ones, there are also original types of slicing. Take a small knife and peeled potatoes. Now, from one end, begin to cut a thin strip 3 cm wide in a spiral. It is formed in the form of a flower, dipped in hot deep fat and fried until golden brown. Such roses will decorate any salad, meat, fish, mushroom dish.
Step 6
Potatoes are also cut into barrels. But this will not result in waste-free production. Place the potato across and cut into 2x2 cm beams. Now it remains to cut off the top from them and use a knife to round off the sides, giving the pieces the shape of a barrel. They are also fried in boiling deep fat. They give such a shape with a whole root vegetable of a small size.
Step 7
You can first boil the potatoes in their skins, and then, without peeling them, give the shape of the mushrooms. There will be a cap on one side, a root on the other, and a mushroom leg in the middle. Now it is also fried in oil, but not for long - about 4-5 minutes.
