Ingredients Crunchy Fried Potatoes

600 g potatoes, preferably Gold potatoes
1 medium size onion
sunflower or taste neutral oil
salt and pepper to taste

Cooking Instructions

– Peel potatoes and cut in equally sized pieces, place them briefly in cold water, so the starch is dissolving. This is important because this step makes the potatoes especially crunchy.
– Add oil into a non-stick pan, and heat on high heat.
– Drain potatoes, pat dry with kitchen paper, then place into hot oil.
– Cover the pan right away with a lid.
– After 5 min turn potatoes, reduce heat if needed and turn frequently but after each turning, place the lid on top.
– Fry for about 35 min.
– 10 min before potatoes are done add a chopped onion on top of potatoes; saute for 5 min in covered skillet, fry without a lid for the last 5 min.
– Spice with salt and pepper to taste.
