Should you blanch fried shredded potatoes or not?

My chef friend taught me that this is the crispiest way to make it!

Fried shredded potatoes, I believe everyone has eaten this home-cooked dish. It is very simple to make.

Many kitchen novices will choose this dish when cooking for the first time, but in fact it seems simple, but it is very different from what is made in restaurants outside.

Some friends make it very soft, and some are not fried at all. So how can you make the silk noodles as crispy and delicious as those in restaurants outside? Let me teach you a few techniques below!

The first and most basic thing is to cut out silk of uniform size. This step tests your knife skills.

Skills are secondary. The most important thing is to practice frequently. After you have shredded potatoes for a long time, you will be able to master it.

The most important thing is to cut out silk that is uniform in length and thickness.

After cutting, we put it in a basin, then added two spoons of salt in it and rinsed it with water.

Wash off the starch on the surface so that the strands will not connect together when fried, and add salt water to prevent it from turning black.

We can also pour a little vinegar into it to make it crispier when fried.

Then we have to pour the water into the pot to blanch it. Boil the water first, and then put the silk into it, but be careful not to cook it for too long. Generally, about a minute and a half is enough.

But you should also choose according to the thickness of the shreds you cut. If the shreds cut by some people are thicker, you can blanch them for a little longer. When the potato shreds become transparent, take them out immediately. Don't blanch them for too long, otherwise they will fry as soon as they are fried.

It's rotten and has lost its taste.

At the same time, when stir-frying, we need to heat the pot first, and then pour in the oil.

Then turn on high heat and stir-fry quickly. At this time, don't turn on medium-low heat and stir-fry slowly.

Fry it quickly until it is cooked thoroughly, then add seasonings and take it out quickly, so that it can be golden and crispy in color.
