Instructions
Step 1
Begin to vary the recipes for making potatoes even at the stage of preparing the main ingredient. First, try slicing the potatoes differently. The thinner and finer the slices, the more crisp the potatoes will be. If the sliced potatoes are pre-soaked in water and then dried on a napkin, they will turn out to be very crispy. Diced potatoes are likely to turn out soft, similar to boiled ones, and if you cut the thoroughly washed but unpeeled tubers into large slices and fry in oil with the addition of spices, you will get a very interesting taste, similar to baked potatoes.
Step 2
Try frying potatoes with different types of fat. In addition to the usual vegetable oil, you can use corn, olive oil, you can mix vegetable and butter, you can simply fry in butter or margarine. Or follow the advice of professional chefs who recommend frying potatoes exclusively with animal fat.

Experiment with spices. There are special spices for potatoes on sale. They can be combined with your favorite spices, combined with sour cream, onions and garlic.
Step 4
Using the garlic, fry it in a skillet before placing the potatoes in it and remove. Then the acrid garlic taste will disappear, but a subtle aroma will remain. If you prefer to fry potatoes with onions, scald the chopped onions with boiling water, and then put them in cold water to get rid of the bitterness.
Step 5
Try French fries. To do this, at the end of frying, break a couple of beaten eggs and seasonings to taste into a skillet. You can also add meat or sausage to such a dish.
Step 6
At the end of cooking, sprinkle the potatoes with any grated hard cheese, cover and simmer.

If you add heavy cream to fried potatoes and vegetables and stew it all a little, you get a very tender dish.
Step 8
Finally, among other experiments, you can boil potatoes in their skins, peel and fry them over high heat in a mixture of vegetable oil and butter. Sprinkle such a dish with finely chopped dill and you will surely be satisfied with the result.
