Simple Recipes Potatoes Fasting Recipes Budget Recipes Side Dishes
If you like fried potatoes, these are a good alternative - they're less greasy because they're first boiled and then fried briefly, just until they get a golden crust... which is where they get their name. It's important that the oil is extremely hot when you put them in to fry, otherwise they'll turn out oily. They go well as a side dish with any roasted or grilled meat. But last night, we turned them into student-style potatoes 😉.
Ingredients
potatoes
1 liter oil for frying
salt
How to prepare golden potatoes
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into appropriate pieces (cubes, lengthwise wedges, or rounds). If they're as small as a walnut, leave them whole.
- Put the potatoes to boil with plenty of water and salt, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until well cooked but not mushy. Drain the potatoes.
* at this point you can keep the boiled potatoes in the refrigerator until you want to serve them - Heat the oil in a deep pan. Check if the oil is hot by putting a piece of potato in it. When it starts sizzling vigorously, it's ready. At that point, put the potatoes in the hot oil and fry for about 7 minutes, until they have a golden color.
* if you have more potatoes, don't crowd them in the pan - fry them in batches - Remove onto paper towels and sprinkle with coarse salt and optionally some chili. Serve immediately.
