Potatoes are one of those products, the listing of dishes from which may not fit into a multi-volume collection of recipes. For more than four hundred years, a great number of them have accumulated in Russia. How could it be otherwise - potatoes became a national product. The question “what can be cooked from potatoes” has one answer: almost everything.
It would seem that choosing potatoes is not a tricky matter. The main thing is that it is not rotten. Not so. As a rule, medium potatoes are chosen. A large one may turn out to be empty or rotten inside. And it's not very convenient to clean. The slightest external damage to the tuber - set aside. Green peel - remove immediately. Green color indicates that the root vegetable is sick and oversaturated with solanine, a poison that can easily be poisoned.
It is necessary to take into account that each variety is better suited to a specific type of heat treatment. For example, pink is ideal for frying, yellow is ideal for making soups and stewing, white is the basis for excellent purees. The remaining products involved in the preparation of a particular potato dish should be selected according to the usual principle. They should be as fresh as possible, preferably without any harmful additives or damage. Simply put, all ingredients must be of high quality if you want to get a tasty and healthy dish.

Potatoes are a really interesting product. How many dishes have already been invented, how many recipes have been written. But the confidence remains that this is far from the end. New recipes for potato dishes will always appear. And the authors of some of them will be those who read this article. Experiment, fantasize, and you will succeed. Do not forget that the main thing in preparing any dish is the use of quality products and your desire.
It's hard to imagine Russian cuisine without potatoes. And somehow it doesn’t fit in my head that some three hundred years ago our ancestors did without potatoes, and some particularly lively citizens even started potato riots, not wanting to be “poisoned” by an overseas vegetable. And now, for almost any housewife, the lack of potatoes can cause, if not panic, then some kind of inconvenience. Potato dishes can be very different, be it first, second or even dessert. Wonderful bread and flatbreads are made from potatoes. And most importantly, cooking from potatoes is quick and easy. The most democratic product!
But, oddly enough, not everyone knows how to cook potatoes properly. There are some rules that should not be broken. The fact is that the quality of potato dishes depends on the presence of starch in it and on how it is converted in potatoes under the influence of high temperature, liquid and acidic environment. For example, potatoes will never boil in an acidic environment. That is why sauerkraut for cabbage soup or pickled cucumbers for pickle are stewed separately and placed in a pan shortly before the end of cooking, otherwise the potatoes will be dense, as if undercooked. But when cooking potatoes for salads, this feature will come in handy. Some varieties of potatoes get very soft and can even fall apart - and in these cases, citric acid or vinegar will help.
Not everyone knows how to cook even the simplest dish correctly. Jacket potatoes or peeled tubers should be placed in boiling salted water and cooked covered. The fact is that if you put the potatoes in cold water and put them on fire, the temperature inside the tubers will reach 70°C only after 20-25 minutes, and during this time at least 10% of the starch in the potatoes is saccharified under the influence of heat. The resulting sugar turns into a decoction, and the potatoes turn out sticky. A completely different picture will turn out if the potatoes are immersed in boiling water: after 5-6 minutes, enzymes lose activity, starch is not hydrolyzed, and nutrient losses are significantly reduced. And the potatoes cook much faster. After cooking, the water should be drained immediately and the potatoes should be dried over low heat, covered with a lid.
. To cook good potatoes for salad or to take with you on the road, prepare frites. Make the so-called hypertonic brine - a very concentrated salt solution (350 g of salt per 1 liter of water). Not all the salt will dissolve in water, that’s okay. Place the washed, unpeeled tubers into the cold solution and place on high heat. If the salt dissolves during heating, add more. After boiling, cook under a loosely closed lid over fairly high heat. Try to keep all the tubers covered with water. When cooking, the potatoes sizzle, as if they were fried in oil - this is the water boiling away, its vapors preventing the brine from penetrating inside. Therefore, such potatoes need to be seasoned with salt before use. The potatoes are cooked for about 15 minutes. The longer the cooking time, the smaller and denser the potatoes will be. As soon as the potatoes are ready, immediately remove them from the brine, do not let them remain in it for a minute. If the potatoes were boiled for storage outside of the cold (for example, for travel), leave them at room temperature without washing them - the salt forms a dense crust that protects the potatoes from spoilage. Do not pour out the solution after cooking; it can be used more than a dozen times. Potatoes cooked this way taste like baked potatoes.
.
There are several subtleties in preparing this dish, after mastering which you will prepare an amazing puree (and not “mint”, which hardens like a stone when it cools). Boiled potatoes are rubbed through a sieve while hot, oil is added, almost boiling milk is poured in 2-3 additions and thoroughly beaten until fluffy. Whipping is a must! In order to delay the inevitable hardening of mashed potatoes when cooling, when cooking, add fresh eggs or yolks and refined vegetable oil (you can add the same amount or half as much as butter). Instead of milk, you can add hot cream. When mashing hot potatoes, the tissue cells remain intact and the puree does not become sticky.
If you want to please your family with crispy fried potatoes, it takes a little effort, but the results are worth it! Cut the potatoes into cubes, slices or cubes - as desired. Rinse in cold water and dry on a towel. Dip the potato pieces in flour (or a mixture of flour and egg powder, it tastes better). Heat the oil in a thick-bottomed frying pan and add the potatoes. The layer of potatoes should not exceed 4-5 cm. Fry, stirring, until cooked, without covering with a lid. Salt after the crust has formed golden brown.
Properly cooked French fries are considered as dietary as boiled ones! This statement in no way applies to potatoes served in fast food cafes, where potatoes are fried in an unknown medium, rarely filtered in order to save money. So, first, let's prepare deep fat: a mixture of refined vegetable oil and melted lard in a 1:1 ratio, but it is possible that deep fat can consist only of vegetable oil. Pour the deep fat into a tall pan, and the oil should fill it no more than halfway. The oil must be heated to 180-190°C. Cut the potatoes into long pieces, rinse with cold water and dry on a towel. In no case should you add salt; this will cause the potatoes to become soggy and absorb too much fat. Place the potato wedges in a special mesh and place them in boiling oil. There should be 8-10 times less potatoes than oil. After the potatoes have formed a golden brown crust, remove the potatoes, drain the oil and sprinkle with fine salt, which can be additionally flavored with seasonings. Do not fry the potatoes until they become too crispy, as this will degrade the taste of the finished dish and lead to overcooked frying. (If frying properly, deep fryer can be used several times). Potatoes for deep frying can be cut using a special device that cuts the potatoes in the form of spirals. Tubers with holes after cutting out the spirals can be stuffed with minced meat and baked.
And now you can prepare more complex potato dishes. Although, if you look at it, there is nothing complicated in preparing them.
Ingredients:
4-5 potatoes,
1 egg,
flour, salt.
Preparation:
Boil the potatoes in their jackets, peel and chop them in any way. Add salt, add the egg and flour and knead into a soft dough (do not overdo it with flour, otherwise the finished gnocchi will look like dumplings). Make sausages, cut into pieces, roll into balls and press each one lightly to form pucks. Boil the gnocchi in salted water. Serve with sour cream. Gnocchi can be prepared for future use, frozen, and then boiled until half cooked, placed in pots and baked with cheese, ham, etc.
