Tips and Tips for Cooking Delicious Chips
The first rule of cooking fried potatoes is to soak the potatoes in cold water after peeling to remove the starch. It is he who prevents the potatoes from becoming ruddy. The younger the potato, the more starch it contains, so you need to soak vegetables in water for at least an hour. Also, be sure to dry the potatoes well - for this you can use an ordinary linen towel or paper. The drier the potatoes, the rougher the crust and less oil splashes.
To cook potatoes, you do not need to spare the oil, which, by the way, should be hot. If you are worried that the final dish will turn out to be too greasy, then remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and let the oil drain, and then put on a plate.
Experienced housewives know that salt and pepper (as well as other spices) should be added at the end of frying, and not at the beginning. The presence of salt also interferes with the formation of a seductive golden brown like excess moisture and starch.
In order for the potatoes to have a crispy crust, do not cover the pan with a lid. Also, do not put too many layers of potatoes. The optimal amount is 2-3 layers.
If you are a fan of spicy flavors, then try this trick: before you pour the potatoes into hot oil, fry a few cloves of garlic or a sprig of rosemary in it.
