Potatoes are a common ingredient in our daily life, and they are loved by everyone because of their delicious taste and rich nutrition. Among them, fried shredded potatoes is a very classic home-cooked dish, but many people will encounter a problem when frying shredded potatoes, that is, potatoes are easy to stick to the pan, and the taste of fried shredded potatoes is not flavorful enough. In fact, this is because everyone chooses to soak potatoes in salted water before frying shredded potatoes, but this is actually incorrect. Today, I will teach you a little trick for stir-frying shredded potatoes, that is, do not soak potatoes in salted water, but use it to soak them, so that the fried shredded potatoes will not only not stick to the pan, but also have a more flavorful taste.
First of all, we have to understand why you can't soak potatoes in salt water. The brine destroys the starch structure in the potatoes, making it easier for the potatoes to stick to the pan during the frying process. Moreover, the brine will also make the potatoes softer and glutinous, losing the crisp taste that the shredded potatoes should have.
So, what should we use to soak potatoes?The answer is vinegar. Vinegar can not only effectively prevent potatoes from sticking to the pan, but also enhance the taste of potatoes and make the fried shredded potatoes more flavorful. The acidity of vinegar can neutralize the alkaline substances in the potatoes, making the potatoes less likely to stick to the pan during the frying process. In addition, vinegar can also soften the fiber of the potatoes, making the shredded potatoes more crispy.
Next, I will teach you how to soak potatoes in vinegar. First, the fresh potatoes are peeled and then cut into thin strips with a knife. Next, put the shredded potatoes into a bowl and add the appropriate amount of vinegar to cover the shredded potatoes completely. Then, gently stir with your hands so that each shredded potato has full access to the vinegar. Finally, let the shredded potatoes soak in vinegar for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, you will notice that the shredded potatoes have completely softened and the colors have become more vibrant. At this point, you can start sautéing shredded potatoes. During the sautéing process, you will find that the shredded potatoes are very tender and completely non-stick. After stir-frying, you can also add the right amount of seasonings, such as soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, etc., to make the shredded potatoes more flavorful.
In general, when sautéing shredded potatoes, do not soak them in salted water, but in vinegar. The shredded potatoes stir-fried in this way not only do not stick to the pan, but also have a more flavorful texture. I hope you can try this method when you fry shredded potatoes, I believe it will bring you unexpected deliciousness.
