Potatoes are a good ingredient, a treasure house of energy and vitamin C. They are known as the " underground apple " and the "second bread". They are both a staple food and a dish, and can be cooked in various ways.
Potatoes are produced in large quantities throughout the year, and we will also change our cooking methods with the seasons. Use it to stew meat when it's cold in winter, and stir-fry it when it's hot in summer. It's delicious no matter how you cook it.
In summer, small stir-fries are indispensable. Fried potato slices, spicy and sour shredded potatoes are all appetizers.
But we should pay attention when frying potatoes. Don’t put them into the pot directly after cutting them. Whether it is fried shredded potatoes or potato slices , you must add one more step before putting them in the pot!
Before frying the potato slices, add this step
After cutting the potato slices, do not fry them directly. You need to pour water in a boiling water pot before frying, so as to keep the potatoes soft and waxy and taste better.
Potatoes are rich in starch. They are easy to oxidize and turn black after cutting. Put them in a pot of boiling water and blanch them for about 30 seconds to form a semi-cooked state and they will not oxidize or change color.
Before frying the shredded potatoes, add this step
Stir-fried shredded potatoes are different from fried potato slices. Shredded potatoes need to be crispy to be delicious. Slice the potatoes first and then finely shred them. Don’t skip this step, but don’t bother using a grater to grate them into shreds. They will taste soft and not delicious at all.
When cutting potato shreds, it is easy to stick to the knife surface. Here is a trick for warm fans: cut a thin slice first and stick it on the knife to form a small slope. Then cut the potatoes and the potato shreds will Turn it over and it will not stick to the knife.
After cutting the potatoes into shreds, don't fry them directly in the pan. Potatoes contain a lot of starch. If you fry them directly, the starch texture will become sticky, stick to the pan, soft and waxy, and not crispy at all.
The correct way to do this is to soak the potatoes in water with white vinegar and wash them to remove the starch layer on the surface, so that the potatoes can maintain a crisp, crisp taste.
You also need to control the time when frying. The potatoes have been cut into thin strips and will mature easily. If you like them crispy, fry them over high heat for 1 minute. If you like them a little softer, fry them for 2 to 3 minutes. , the shredded potatoes stir-fried in this way are distinct, crispy and delicious. It’s hard not to eat them with rice!

Let’s take a look at the warm fans. What’s the difference between the two piles of potatoes below? Can the sharp-eyed warm fans see it?
