Potato pie

To prepare this dish, you will need fairly simple products that are always in the bins of every housewife. It is better to choose medium-sized potatoes of an even shape and without eyes.Such potatoes will be easier to cut, and the strips will turn out to be long, thin and of the same size.

So, let's get started. First of all, peel the potatoes, wash them under running water.

Next, you need to cut the vegetables into thin and long strips. You can do this with a sharp knife, but in this case the cutting will not turn out so thin and will take a lot of time. If the farm has a grater for Korean carrots, it will be perfect for these purposes. Let's take a peeled whole potato tuber in our hands and rub it on a special grater, acting in one direction. We try to make the straw the same length. The potatoes cut in this way are poured into a bowl.

So that the potatoes do not darken and turn out crispy, it is necessary to get rid of the starch that it contains. To do this, thoroughly rinse the sliced potatoes several times with cold water until the water after it becomes transparent. Then we throw the potatoes into a colander or a large sieve to drain the remaining water. To finally get rid of moisture and dry the potatoes, you can spread them out on paper towels.

Next, we proceed directly to frying potatoes. Pour a sufficient amount of vegetable oil into a deep frying pan, saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. On medium heat, we bring it to the desired temperature. We throw a couple of pieces of potatoes into the heated oil - if it starts to sizzle immediately, then you can start cooking. In small portions, we throw the potatoes into the oil, fry for about 2-3 minutes until a beautiful golden color. Then we take out the potato straws with a slotted spoon and spread it on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.

We put the potato pie in dishes and salt to taste. Add spices to taste, for example, garlic powder and a little cumin.

Bon appetit!
