Secrets of fried potatoes

- It is better to use a frying pan with high sides, large and cast iron.

You can also use lard or lard if you want the potatoes to be soft on the inside and super crispy on the outside, with a special taste. Fried potatoes with onions in lard will be very satisfying.

This will be enough for the fried potatoes and onions to cook inside and form a crust on top. As for the lid - if you need the dish to be soft, you can cover it with a lid.
- Any onion can be used. But if you take sweet purple, it will darken when fried and will not look very aesthetically pleasing. White or regular yellow onions will be sweet, saturate the potatoes with their softness, and leeks will add piquancy. Place the onions 5 - 7 minutes before the potatoes are ready, so that they have time to soften and fry, but do not burn.
- To fried potatoes with onions were crispy, you need to salt it at the very end. This way the fruits will remain dry, which means they will definitely be covered with a golden crust.
