First of all, in terms of material selection, we should not use that kind of white potato to make potatoes, but use yellow potatoes to make this food. Yellow potatoes have higher starch content, so if they are used for cooking, they will taste more waxy, unlike white potatoes, which are particularly brittle.
Fried potatoes
Making ingredients: potato, starch, salt, cooking oil and tomato sauce.
Methods and steps
1, first of all, potatoes. After peeling off the skin, cut the potatoes into thick slices. The potatoes must be cut thicker so that the potatoes will not be damaged when frying. After cutting the potato chips, put them under the tap and rinse off the excess starch on the surface with running water.
At this time, potatoes should not be directly fried, so the fried potatoes are not crisp. Remember to add two spoonfuls of salt to it first, stir the salt and potatoes evenly, and marinate the potatoes with salt for 5 minutes to marinate the excess water in the potatoes.
2. After the water in the potato is completely salted out, we must dump all the excess water in the potato. At this time, we will find that potatoes become particularly soft. Another advantage of potatoes pickled with salt is that potatoes can be flavored and salted in advance, which can make the taste more delicious.
Then, wash the potatoes under the tap again, wash off the excess salt, and put them in the vegetable basket to control the moisture on their surfaces. Then put the potatoes in a large bowl, then prepare a proper amount of potato starch or corn starch, add them to the potatoes and mix them evenly by hand.
3, hot oil from the pot, remember to add more cooking oil to the pot, about a pound and a half. After the oil temperature is heated to 60%, add the prepared potato chips into the hot oil one by one, and slowly fry the potato chips with medium heat. Remember to flip the potato chips with chopsticks when they are floating.
Even heating potato chips can also prevent them from sticking. When the potatoes are fried to golden brown and there are small bubbles on the surface, you can control the oil and take them out. Finally, just a small bowl of ketchup and crispy fried potatoes will be ready.
