Fried potatoes in sour cream in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potatoes in sour cream in a frying pan? Very simple and quick, with a minimum of ingredients. To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use sour cream of any fat content. Oil - any vegetable oil for frying. I have sunflower.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into cubes no more than 1 cm thick. Place the potatoes in a colander and rinse them from excess starch, or another option - pour boiling water over them. Then dry thoroughly. This way you will remove excess starch, which prevents the potatoes from browning.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour water into the sour cream and stir until smooth. This trick will prevent the sour cream from curdling too much.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Lay out the potatoes. I have a basic recipe that only contains potatoes, sour cream and spices. However, in addition to these ingredients, you can add your own at this stage to taste. For example, an onion cut into half rings. Or mushrooms.

5. STEP 5

   

   Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the slices are golden brown. Determine the degree of friedness to your taste. I love it when the potatoes are all covered with a crust, while others like, on the contrary, tender potatoes without a crust.

6. STEP 6

   

   Reduce heat to low. Salt and pepper the potatoes, sprinkle with paprika and mix gently, trying not to crush the slices. In addition to the specified spices, you can add your own to taste. There are good ready-made mixtures for fried potatoes, but they usually already contain salt and pepper, so there is no need to add additional salt and pepper to potatoes with such mixtures.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour the sour cream mixture into the pan and stir gently. Simmer everything together over low heat for about another 10 minutes. If the potatoes are boiling strongly when adding sour cream, the sour cream may curdle, so it is better to reduce the heat in advance.

8. STEP 8

   

   Wash the greens, dry and finely chop. Choose greens to taste. I used parsley and dill, but you can use cilantro, basil, green onions or green wild garlic.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the finished potatoes in sour cream with chopped herbs and remove from the heat.

10. STEP 10

    

    Immediately place on plates and serve. Bon appetit!

There is hardly a person who does not like fried potatoes. And I absolutely adore her! For a change, I wanted to cook fried potatoes in sour cream in a frying pan. I had never added sour cream during frying before, so I carefully read the recipe. Impressed by the author’s suggestion in step 4 to add ingredients as desired, I found a piece of doctor’s sausage, bell pepper and green onion lying around in the refrigerator and added them to the potatoes. 10 minutes before the end of frying, pour sour cream diluted with water. It turned out great! Delicious!
