Fried potatoes with golden crust

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to fry potatoes with a crust in a frying pan? Prepare your food.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into cubes no more than 1 cm thick. Place the potatoes in a colander and pour boiling water over them. In this way you will remove excess starch, which prevents the potatoes from browning. Place the potatoes on a paper towel and pat dry. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl.

3. STEP 3

   

   Coat it with flour by shaking the bowl or tossing the potatoes with your hands.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make sure the flour is evenly distributed throughout the potatoes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Heat vegetable oil and butter in a thick-bottomed Teflon frying pan. Butter will add a delicate flavor to the dish, but it will burn when heated. That’s why they add vegetable oil, the combustion temperature of which is higher than that of butter. Then the butter will not burn, and the dish will be fried and receive the desired creamy aroma.

6. STEP 6

   

   Lay out the potatoes. Fry the potatoes for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. STEP 7

   

   Salt, pepper and stir the potatoes. Continue to cook until the potatoes are golden brown and crusty, about 10 minutes more. Place the finished potatoes on a plate. Serve immediately while hot.

Everyone in our family loves fried potatoes. But this time I prepared a small portion especially for my son, he comes home terribly hungry after school) I haven’t fried potatoes this way yet; it’s very unusual to bread them in flour. It was very interesting what would come of it. The potatoes were cut into large pieces, washed and dried with a waffle towel. I prefer to dry it with a cloth towel; a paper towel gets very wet and sticks to the slices. I poured the flour into the potatoes, stirred, and thought about sifting the remaining flour through a sieve, but still poured all the flour into the frying pan. I fried the potatoes for about half an hour in total. From the spices I added ground paprika and black pepper. The result was ruddy, beautiful slices. Tasty and aromatic. An interesting combination of creamy delicate taste and toasted crust. The flour formed little crispy crumbs. And directly on the potatoes, the flour stuck well and browned. These fried potatoes are unusual and delicious for me. My son also appreciated it) Thanks for the recipe!

Fried potatoes seem to be such a simple recipe and known to everyone, but it turned out that there are also some nuances that I, for example, did not know about. I prepared fried potatoes with a golden crust according to Maria’s recipe. And in this recipe, chopped potatoes need to be doused with boiling water, dried and rolled in flour. Following the author’s advice, the result was delicious potatoes with an appetizing crust! The only thing I changed was to cut the potatoes into smaller pieces and add half an onion, cut into half rings. Thanks to Maria for the interesting recipe for a dish loved by many!
