We all know that you can cook a potato and you can make delicious french fries out of them. every preparation process has a number of basic principles that we like to explain further.

Storage

This is where it starts. Store the potatoes cool, dark and frost-free. Do not store in the refrigerator.

Cooking
  • Peel, was hand cut the potato into equal parts, so that they will cook simultaneously.
  • Put the parts in boiling water (about 20 cm) and cook them fora bout 20 minutes.
  • Add a little bit of salt
  • The potato is cooked if you can puncture them easily with a fork.
  • Pour the potatoes off and let them steam dry on a low temperature.
  • Churn a little and serve out.
Baking
  • Wash, peel (if you like) and cut the potatoes in equal parts, so that they will cook simultaneously.
  • Heat oil or butter in a frying pan.
