Potatoes Won't Stick to the Pan: A Chef's Secret.

According to ТСН: Many people face an unpleasant issue: potatoes stick to the frying pan, even if you added a lot of oil. As a result, instead of appetizing golden pieces, you get a mushy mass. Professional chefs know that it's not about the pan or the amount of oil, but rather one simple trick that allows you to fry potatoes so that they don’t stick and have a crispy crust.

The Only Step to Prevent Potatoes from Sticking

Before frying, it is essential to rinse the potatoes well in cold water and dry them. Why is this important? There's a layer of starch on the surface of the potatoes that can become a 'glue', causing the pieces to:

• stick to the hot pan;

• break;

• not brown evenly;

• turn into a mush rather than a crispy crust.

If you rinse the potatoes several times until the water is clear and dry them with a paper towel, the excess starch will be gone, and the pieces will no longer stick to the pan.

How to Properly Fry Potatoes So They Don't Stick to the Pan

1. Cut the potatoes into even pieces. This ensures even frying.

2. Rinse twice until the water is clean. This helps to remove the maximum amount of starch.

3. Dry thoroughly. Moisture hinders the formation of a crispy crust.

4. The pan must be well-heated. Add oil only after preheating.

5. Don't flip often. Let the pieces 'set' with a crust.

By following these simple tips, you can prepare perfect fried potatoes that not only look appetizing on the outside but also delight with their taste. Remember, cooking at home can be not only tasty but also an enjoyable process, if you know some secrets.
