It is believed that new potatoes are too watery and not suitable for frying. In fact, knowing a few nuances of cooking, you can fry a young potato in a pan so that it does not crumble, but forms on the surface appetizing crust. To do this, the tubers are fried whole and not peeled - the peel enriches the taste, and the integral form does not allow the pulp to fall apart into pieces. Total cooking time (with preparation) - 35-40 minutes.

Adviсe. We need small and medium tubers. Optimally - a little more than ripe cherries, the maximum size - with Walnut. Potatoes that are too large will not have time to fry inside before the top part burns. The number of potatoes is calculated based on the size of the pan - all tubers should be laid out in one row.

Ingredients:

  • young potatoes - 500-600 grams;
  • vegetable oil - for frying;
  • garlic (preferably young) - 5-6 cloves (to taste);
  • dill and other herbs - to taste;
  • salt - to taste.

Recipe for frying young potatoes whole in their skins

1. Wash the potatoes in a deep bowl, changing the water several times.

2. Place clean tubers in a plastic bag, sprinkle with coarse salt, then rub thoroughly with your hands. In this case, salt acts as an abrasive, removing loose skins that can burn during frying.

3. Rinse the potatoes under running water, then remove excess moisture with a paper towel.

4. Warm up the pan, pour vegetable oil in a layer of about 1 cm. Put the new potatoes.

5. Fry for 5 minutes at maximum heat, periodically talking the tubers with a spatula. Then reduce the heating power to a minimum, cover the pan with a lid, and fry for 15-20 minutes until tender, turning the potatoes from time to time.


The best way to mix whole potatoes is with a spatula.

Attention! If the lid is without a hole, do not cover tightly, leaving a small gap.

6. While the new potatoes are fried, prepare the other ingredients: peel the garlic and cut into thin strips, and chop the greens with a knife.

7. When the potatoes are easily pierced with a toothpick (normally fried), add garlic and salt to taste, then turn off the heat on the stove, cover the pan with a lid and leave for 3 minutes so that the garlic saturates the potato pulp with its aroma.

If the potatoes are “various in size”, then it should be sorted out and tubers of the same size should be used for frying.

There is a cooking option when the potatoes are boiled in salted water for five minutes. The frying time is then reduced.

Reduce the heat from high to just over medium, cover the pan and sauté the potatoes until cooked through. Depending on the size of the potato tubers, this will take 10 to 30 minutes. Every five minutes you need to turn the potatoes over or stir if the nodules are very tiny. Make sure that the potatoes do not burn, but are evenly covered with a blush on all sides. To do this, it should be correctly turned over, without losing sight of a single potato. The easiest way to do this is with two forks.

Properly cooked potatoes should be evenly browned on the outside and completely soft on the inside.

Add oil when frying if necessary.

If you still fried and fried, but didn’t finish it, and you understood about it already at the stage when you got the potatoes from the pan and tried it, then you can either send it back to the pan or bring it to readiness in the microwave.

Properly cooked young potatoes should be soft, tender.

At the end of frying, salt the potatoes to taste. It is advisable to use finely ground salt for this. Serve ready-made ruddy young potatoes fried in a pan as a whole immediately after cooking, piping hot.

When serving, sprinkle each serving of small potatoes with chopped clean dill. Complement ready meal fresh vegetables, young garlic. It will not be superfluous to put a salt shaker with fine salt on the table, because. inside the potatoes are not salty.

There is another option for cooking young potatoes in a pan with sour cream, for this, cook as indicated in our recipe, but add sour cream, chopped dill in 10 minutes, cover the pan with a lid and let the dish simmer. It will turn out very tasty!

Larger potatoes can be cooked in the same way, but only they need to be peeled and cut into halves or slices.

Do you cover the potatoes when frying with a lid

I cover with a lid when I need to cook a lot of potatoes, otherwise it will be difficult for it to fry evenly. If the lid doesn't have a hole, be sure to leave a slit for steam to escape, otherwise the potatoes will be too wet.

If you are frying 3-5 potatoes in a spacious pan, you can leave it uncovered.

Do I often need to stir the potatoes in the pan

Often you should not mix, fried potatoes do not like fuss and braking without serious reasons. They interfered - move away, wash the dishes, set the table, forget about it for 5 minutes. Then the potatoes at the bottom will get a very tasty crust.

And if you stir continuously, the potato pieces will remain moist, white and taste close to stewed potatoes. For the same reasons, it is worth salting only at the end.

Do I need to peel new potatoes

If you disdain potato skins, you can scrape young vegetables, or even remove a thin layer of skin, as we usually do when we peel potatoes. But in uniform it tastes better.

What to add to young fried potatoes

If you complicate the process of cooking fried potatoes, you can pepper it, add herbs(marjoram, basil, parsley, dill, oregano), in the middle of frying, add chopped onion and garlic (if earlier, they can burn). And at the very end, hot fried potatoes can be sprinkled with grated cheese or crumbled cheese (feta). Or even send it to the oven for 5 minutes to cheese crust grabbed. Basically a meal!

But if you wish, you can take a mixture of oils: vegetable and creamy, so the tubers will be more tender. Also suitable for this process lard, but then you need to consider that the dish will be much more high-calorie.

Fruit size can vary. The main thing is to choose the maximum of the same size so that they cook at the same time. Most delicious fruits- the youngest. They are the most delicate and have a sweet aftertaste. If you are afraid that the potatoes will not be completely fried, then you can boil them a little first, and then fry them so that they are covered with a golden brown crust. Such potatoes are good in various combinations, especially with meat and mushrooms.
