What everyone forgets about while cooking potatoes: don't make this mistake

You should use special technology even when frying or boiling such simple product as potatoes. It often happens that experienced housewives often forget about one seemingly trivial point that has a great influence on the flavor and consistency of the product. It has to do with the lid.

FoodOboz editorial staff will tell you when you must use the lid when cooking potatoes. This applies to baking, boiling and frying.

Boiling

If you are cooking chopped or jacket potatoes, be sure to cover them with a lid. This will contribute to the richness of flavor, as well as much faster cooking and concentration of nutrients. And to prevent water from leaking out, the lid just needs to be opened slightly.

Baking or frying

When baking or frying, everything should be done in reverse. To get a crispy and golden crust on top, the product should never be covered with a lid. In addition, cook the potatoes in small portions so that they are evenly roasted or baked.

Stewing

Before stewing, potatoes need to be fried in a pan. It is important to do this without a lid. When the potatoes are already in the cauldron with sauce, cover it and stew over low heat. All the flavors combine perfectly and the dish will be rich.
