Choosing potatoes – which one will crisp up best?
The best option for frying is medium-cooking potatoes with pinkish skin, hard and well-retained.
You can fry both pre-boiled potatoes and raw ones; the latter turns out tastier and juicier, but it will take more time to bring them to readiness. Boiled potatoes are cut into slices and fried in a frying pan with butter until browned - in this case it is easier to achieve a crispy crust than by frying raw potatoes, which can be called a whole art.
Choosing oil - which one is right?
Most often, potatoes are fried on a vegetable stove. refined oil, but you can also use creamy, but in this case there is a higher risk that the potatoes will burn - you will need to carefully monitor it, but the potatoes will turn out more aromatic and tender. You can also use a mixture of vegetable and melted butter - such a mixture will not burn, and the potatoes will turn out very aromatic. Another option is frying in bacon or animal fat - the crust turns out very golden brown, but the calorie content of such a dish is literally prohibitive.

- To keep the potatoes crispy, fry them first on high, then on medium heat, never cover them with a lid, otherwise they will turn out to be stewed rather than fried;

General principles of how to fry potatoes with a golden crust in a frying pan
Specialists in frying potatoes, as strange as it may sound, have special secrets How to make a dish the most delicious and attractive in appearance. Let's consider what rules are important to follow so that these fried tubers turn out with golden brown crust?
1. After the tubers are cut, it is important to soak them in ice water for a few minutes (20-40). This will draw out the starch, which means that when frying it will be fried and not stewed. It is starch, as indicated professional chefs, prevents the potatoes from browning to a golden crust.
2. After the cut potatoes have been in the water, it is important to dry them before frying. You can use regular paper towels and place the slices on them for about five minutes. Remember, excess moisture, like starch, interferes with the formation of a beautiful crust when frying.
3. Before sending the crushed product to the frying pan, you need to heat the oil to a boil, but you don’t need to spare the fatty product. The more hot oil in the pan, the browner the crust, and you can remove excess fat during the cooking process or after the potatoes are fried by placing them on paper towels and only then on a serving dish.
4. Do not cover the frying pan with a lid when frying; moisture accumulates under the lid and the product ends up being stewed rather than fried.
5. Fry the potatoes in small portions, so they can fry quickly and not break during the cooking process.
For lovers of delicious golden-brown potatoes, I have selected a few simple and very delicious recipes frying this vegetable in a frying pan.

- 6-7 medium-sized potatoes;
- Vegetable oil, you can use both refined and unrefined - half a glass;
- Salt to your own taste;
- Seasoning “For potatoes” - 10 gr.
- Two cloves of garlic (optional).
I would like to point out right away that you won’t get any crispy crust in a frying pan with a thin bottom. To achieve the desired result, take a deep frying pan with a wide and thick bottom and it is better if it has a non-stick coating.
Peel the potato tubers, rinse with water, cut into beautiful cubes or slices.
Pour cold, almost ice-cold water into a deep bowl and place the chopped vegetables there for half an hour.
Drain the water after 30 or 40 minutes, place the potato wedges on a plate or paper towels, and let dry completely.
While the vegetables are drying, bring the oil to a boil in a frying pan; it should start to crackle.
To ensure that the tubers dry quickly, do not load them in a heap; spread the pieces on towels in an even layer.
Reduce the heat by half and add a portion of the potatoes so that they lie in the pan, scattered along the bottom, and not in a pile. Do not close the lid.
Stir the food occasionally for the first few minutes until a small crust sets.
Press the garlic with a garlic clove or finely chop it.
When you see that the potatoes have already browned sufficiently and have a few minutes left until the end of cooking, add spices, salt and garlic to the frying pan, stir the ingredients and fry them until a beautiful golden color.
Helpful advice! Garlic in this recipe it is possible to replace it with green or onions. When serving, fried potatoes are decorated with chopped herbs.
This dish is perfect solution for lunch and dinner. Nourishing, incredibly tasty and very aromatic dish, which, in addition to everything else, is prepared quickly and easily.

2. Cut the bacon into arbitrary pieces as you like.

6. K deli meats When the fat and oil in the frying pan are already boiling, add the potatoes.
