Sawing an ingredient in a pan, as well as browning it, means cooking it evenly in a small amount of oil using a high flame. It is a technique used for cooking vegetables, red meat, poultry and fish. Experts consider it a simple but important technique that allows cooks to prepare quick and tasty dishes. Here's how to properly stir-fry potatoes.

Ingrediants

Medium sized potatoes
Waterfall
Quality Seed Oil
Butter
Black pepper
Fresh parsley

Steps

Step 1. Wash 1.4 kg of medium-sized potatoes

Do not deprive them of the peel

Step 2. Pour the whole potatoes into a pot filled with cold salted water

Step 3. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until almost tender

This will take approximately 20 minutes.

Step 4. Drain the potatoes from the water

Let them cool slightly to avoid burning yourself when handling them.

Step 5. Peel the potatoes while they are still hot

Step 6. Cut them into small even pieces

Step 7. Preheat a non-stick pan

Choose a pan that is large enough so that the potatoes do not overlap in cooking.

Place the dry skillet over medium-high heat. Do not add oil or butter during this heating phase.
Pour a couple of drops of water into the pan and find out if they sizzle and evaporate instantly, if so it means that the pan is hot enough.

Step 8. Pour 4 tablespoons of oil (60 ml) into the hot pan

Step 9. Add the butter (50g)

Wait for it to start forming a light foam.

Step 10. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer

Step 11. Cook them on medium-high heat

The cooking time required will be approximately 7 minutes.

Only turn the potatoes when the undersides begin to brown. Turn them 2 or 3 times until golden evenly

Step 12. Transfer the cooked potatoes to a bowl using a slotted spoon

You may need to remove excess oil using paper towels, tampon, or place them on a paper-lined plate before transferring them to the bowl.

Step 13. Season the sautéed potatoes with black pepper and sea salt

If desired, add 4 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley.

Step 14. Serve your yummy sauteed potatoes

Advice

When you toss an ingredient in the pan, you need to adjust the amount of fat needed based on the size of the pan. The chosen grease should be just enough to cover the bottom. This quantity may vary from that indicated in the recipe.
You can change the taste of your sauteed potatoes by replacing the oil and butter with a different fat, such as beef, pork or goose animal fat.
