How many housewives in the world - so many recipes for cooking potatoes! I will share a recipe for my signature dish, which always takes its rightful place on the festive table.
Its main advantage is that it is prepared in a matter of minutes, which, as a rule, is very important in the pre-holiday time trouble. But, of course, preliminary preparation is needed here - it can be done at least a month before the holiday. So let's get down to business.
1. Stage of preliminary preparation. We wash and peel the potatoes. With a sharp knife, we apply a lattice pattern on each potato on one side (longitudinal and transverse lines, at a distance of about half a centimeter from each other), cutting through the tuber by 1-1.5 centimeters. Put the potatoes in boiling salted water and cook with a strong boil for about 6-8 minutes until half cooked. We drain the water. The tubers must remain firm (undercooked) and not fall apart. We put the potatoes in a container or tray for freezing, refrigerate and put in the freezer. This is the preparation for our dish. Now, at the right time, we can quickly bring the potatoes to readiness.
2. Stage of preparation. We take out the frozen potatoes, spread them with a lattice pattern upwards in a baking dish greased with butter. Put a piece of butter on top of each tuber. We put in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 20 minutes (or set our own mode depending on the technical capabilities of the stove; for example, I set the combi-mode convection 200 degrees + microwave 350, for 15 minutes). The potatoes should be baked until golden brown. Before serving, it should be slightly salted, you can sprinkle with dill.
In my freezer there is always such a piece of potatoes - I'm not afraid of unexpected guests!
