Who doesn’t remember the famous “potato” tirade of Rumyantseva in the role of Tosya Kislitsina from “Girls”? In case anyone still doesn’t remember verbatim, let me quote it here in full: “What about ‘potatoes’? Do you know how many dishes can be prepared from potatoes?... Well, count them! Fried, boiled, mashed potatoes. So, further! French fries, potato pie. Well, these chips are fried in a saucepan in boiling oil. Potato pies with meat, mushrooms and cabbage. Etc! Potato pancakes, mushroom sauce, tomato sauce, sour cream sauce, and so on. Potato roll, potato casserole, stewed potatoes with prunes, stewed potatoes with bay leaves and pepper, boiled young potatoes with dill, shangi.”

I want to offer you a different version of potato pie that was known to Tosya, and with her, to our mothers and grandmothers. They grated “potato chips” on a coarse grater. This method, of course, is also very good, and most importantly, it is publicly available. But the most impressive-looking potato pie, in my opinion, is obtained if you use a Korean carrot grater. It is very decorative, tasty, crispy, quick to make, and is ideal for sprinkling on some dishes, such as salad "".

I couldn’t find reliable information about which country’s cuisine includes potato pie, so for now I’ll put it in the cuisine of the USSR - at least, they even talked about this recipe in the movies there. ;)

Golden straws will be a worthy alternative to French fries. It is good as an independent dish and as a component of many salads. The thinnest vegetable pieces retain their appetizing crunch even a day after cooking.

The volume of oil poured should be one third of the volume of the frying pan. Its duration is no more than a minute.

An original side dish in the form of potato pie will certainly delight children: funny figures made from slices are a great idea for a children's party. An individual selection of spices will allow you to prepare such a side dish for every taste.

Ingredients

• potatoes - 450 g
• ground black pepper - 0.25 tsp.
• salt - 0.25 tsp.
• ground paprika - 1 tsp.
• curry - 0.5 tsp.
• vegetable oil for frying

Preparation

1. You will need large potato tubers without mechanical damage and black spots. For chopping, you can use a Korean carrot grater or a well-sharpened knife to do everything by hand.

Wash the potatoes, peel and chop.

2. Place the chopped potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Rinse it thoroughly to remove starch.

3. Place in a colander and place in the sink. Turn on cold water and rinse thoroughly again. Shake to remove excess water.

4. Prepare paper towels, lay them out in several layers. Place potato strips on them. Dip thoroughly on all sides to remove moisture. Potatoes should be well dried.

5. Take a deep and not very wide heat-resistant saucepan. Pour in enough vegetable oil. Place over high heat. Heat well until crackling. To check, lower a couple of potato straws. If the oil immediately begins to sizzle strongly, it means you can fry the prepared potatoes. Add potatoes in small portions to hot oil and fry until golden brown. Don't go too far, as the whole process happens quite quickly.

For today, another simple recipe - we are preparing a delicious second course (or appetizer, as you like) - potato pie. If you have never tried this dish before, I can say that these are a kind of homemade potato chips.

Potato pie turns out crispy, tasty, impressive and very easy to prepare. It can be served as an original appetizer or main course with fresh vegetables, sauces, a side dish for meat dishes, or used as an ingredient in salads (for example, Wood Grouse's Nest).

Potato pie is salted (or flavored with seasonings) in its ready-made form. Even after a day, these thin potato sticks retain their crispy properties. In any case, no matter how you serve it, this simple potato recipe will surprise you with its originality, not hackneyed and appetizing crunch. Quite a worthy replacement for everyone’s favorite French fries!

Ingredients:

Cooking the dish step by step with photos:

To prepare potato pie, I advise you to choose smooth, medium-sized root vegetables, preferably without eyes, so that the stripes are long and of the same size. Peel the potatoes and wash them in cold water.

Then we choose one of two grinding methods. You can take a sharp knife and cut the tubers into very thin, long strips. But it is much more convenient to use a Korean carrot grater. Then three potatoes in one direction so that you get long strips.

Now you need to rinse it thoroughly to remove the starch, otherwise nothing will work. We wash the potato straws in cold water 2-3 times until they are transparent.

Then you need to remove excess moisture, for which we place the straws in a colander or sieve. Now the potatoes will not darken.

At the end of preparation, lay out paper towels in several layers and distribute potato straws on top in an even layer. The less moisture there is in the potatoes, the faster and better the potato pie will cook.

Take a saucepan or any other dish, not wide and deep enough. Pour refined vegetable oil into it (I use sunflower oil) and heat it over medium heat until a slight smoke appears. You can check the readiness of the oil this way: just throw a couple of potato straws into it. If the oil begins to sizzle and bubble immediately, it means you can cook in it. You need to add potatoes in portions, otherwise they will not be able to cook properly. I did this in 5 steps. Throw some of the potatoes into boiling oil and fry over medium heat for 3 minutes. At first, the potatoes will become very soft, it will literally seem like they are crumbling into porridge. At the same time, the oil boils and bubbles very actively. But this is one of the stages of preparing potato pie. Then you will see how the boiling begins to subside (even though we did not reduce the heat), and the potato straws become dense and elastic. And finally, the potatoes will begin to acquire an appetizing blush. Attention, the most crucial moment! Just when the straw starts to brown, it will be ready in a matter of seconds, so don’t leave the stove. Using a slotted spoon, remove the finished portion of potato pie and place it on a paper towel. Prepare the rest of the potatoes in the same way.

Just half a kilo of (unpeeled) root vegetables yielded a decent amount of potato pie. Now you can add salt to it, but I'll be honest. I didn’t even add salt - and it was so delicious.

You won’t surprise anyone with potatoes in a salad for a long time. But only if the usual boiled product is added, or at least classically fried. Few people know about such a variation of cooking as “Pai”. Naturally, salads with Pai potatoes will be very unusual, original, attracting close attention. Surprising everyone around and delighting your loved ones with another “delicious treat” turns out to be quite simple. The only thing is to cook the potatoes in a special way and make a wonderful salad with them, which will be very difficult to tear yourself away from - it has an amazing taste.

The difficulty in preparing this dish lies solely in frying the potatoes according to a special recipe.

Potato pie salad recipe:

2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and pour the potatoes into it, then fry it and place it on a napkin to remove excess oil from the product.
3. All cucumbers are cut into thin strips on a board.
4. The chicken breast is also finely chopped; you don’t even have to cut it, but tear it into fibers with your hands.

Important! Before frying, the potatoes should already be completely dry; the slightest drop of moisture will cause the oil to start shooting out, and the root vegetables themselves will stick together during the frying process.
