Simple quick potato dishes. Delicious potato dishes (fried, baked, boiled, mashed, stewed, french fries) - simple and festive recipes with step-by-step photos of cooking at home in a hurry

It is 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 especially lively citizens even raised potato riots, not wanting to “poison” overseas vegetables. And now, for almost any housewife, the absence of potatoes can cause, if not panic, then some kind of inconvenience. Potato dishes can be very different, whether it's the first, second or even dessert. Potatoes are used to make wonderful bread and cakes. And most importantly, cooking from potatoes is quick and easy. The most democratic product!

But, oddly enough, not everyone knows how to properly cook potatoes. 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. So, for example, potatoes will never boil in an acidic environment. That is why sauerkraut for cabbage soup or pickles for pickle is stewed separately and placed in a saucepan 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 are very soft and can even fall apart - and in these cases, citric acid or vinegar will help.

Even the simplest dish - - not everyone knows how to cook correctly. Jacket potatoes or peeled tubers should be put in boiling salted water and boiled under a lid. The fact is that if you put potatoes in cold water and put on fire, then the temperature inside the tubers will reach 70 ° C only after 20-25 minutes, and during this time at least 10% of starch is saccharified in potatoes under the influence of heating. The resulting sugar turns into a decoction, and the potatoes are sticky. A completely different picture will be obtained if the potatoes are dipped in boiling water: after 5-6 minutes, the enzymes lose their activity, the starch is not hydrolyzed, and the loss of nutrients is significantly reduced. And potatoes cook much faster. After cooking, immediately drain the water, and dry the potatoes over low heat, covered with a lid.

. To cook a good potato for a salad or to take a "brake" on the road, cook a fret potato. Make the so-called hypertonic brine - a very concentrated salt solution (350 g of salt per 1 liter of water). Not all salt will dissolve in water, it's not scary. Put the washed, unpeeled tubers into a cold solution and put on a strong fire. If the salt dissolves during heating, add more. After boiling, cook under a loosely closed lid over fairly high heat. Try to keep all tubers covered with water. When cooking, the potatoes sizzle, as if they were fried in oil - this boils away the water, its vapors do not allow the brine to penetrate inside. Therefore, such potatoes must be salted before use. Potatoes are cooked for about 15 minutes. The longer the cooking time, the smaller and firmer the potatoes will be. As soon as the potatoes are ready, immediately take them out of the brine, do not let them stay in it for a minute. If the potatoes were not cooked for storage in the cold (for example, on the road), leave them at room temperature without washing - 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 boiled in this way taste like baked potatoes.

. There are several subtleties in the preparation of this dish, having learned which, you will prepare an amazing mashed potatoes (and not "meatu", which hardens like a stone when it cools). Boiled potatoes are rubbed through a sieve while hot, butter is added, almost boiling milk is poured in 2-3 doses and thoroughly beaten until fluffy. Whipping is a must! In order to delay the inevitable hardening of mashed potatoes when cooling, fresh eggs or yolks and refined vegetable oil are added to it during cooking (it can be added as much or half as much as butter). Instead of milk, you can add hot cream. When rubbing a hot potato, the cells of its tissues remain intact, and the puree does not become sticky.

If you want to please your homemade crispy fried potatoes, you need to work a little, but the result is worth it! Cut the potatoes into sticks, slices or cubes - as desired. Rinse in cold water and dry on a towel. Roll the potato slices in flour (or a mixture of flour and egg powder, it tastes better). Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan and add potatoes. The layer of potatoes should not exceed 4-5 cm. Fry, stirring, until tender, without covering with a lid. Salt after the formation of a golden crust.

Properly cooked french fries are considered as dietary as boiled ones! This statement in no way refers to potatoes served in fast food cafes, where potatoes are fried in an incomprehensible way, rarely filtered in order to save money. So, for starters, 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-frying into a tall saucepan, and the oil should not fill it more than half. The oil must be heated to 180-190°C. Cut the potatoes into long sticks, rinse with cold water and dry on a towel. In no case do you need to add salt, because of this, the potatoes will get wet and will absorb fat too much. Place the potato wedges in a special grid and dip into the boiling oil. Potatoes should be 8-10 times less than butter. After the formation of a golden crust, remove the potatoes, let the oil drain and sprinkle with fine salt, which can be additionally flavored with seasonings. Do not fry the potatoes too hard, this will degrade the taste of the finished dish and cause the deep-frying to burn. (Fryers can be reused several times if they are properly fried.) Deep-fried potatoes can be cut using a special device that cuts potatoes in the form of spirals. Tubers with holes after cutting the spirals can be stuffed with minced meat and baked.

• When peeling potatoes, the thin top layer should be cut off, since most of the vitamins are located just under the skin, and not in the pulp itself. But in old overgrown potatoes, a thick layer should be cut off, since under the skin, especially in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe eyes, solanine is formed - a toxic substance that does not completely decompose during heat treatment. For the same reason, the green part of the potato must be carefully removed.
• Potato yellow varieties are usually used for dishes with various sauces, stews, vegetable casseroles. Crumbly white potatoes are used to make mashed potatoes.
• Do not store peeled potatoes in water for a long time, as they lose not only vitamin C, but also starch. The flesh of the potato becomes coarse and does not boil well.

• To make the puree white and fluffy, carefully drain all the liquid. We dilute the mashed potatoes with hot milk, add butter, and then beat. If you wipe the potatoes with the remnants of potato broth, then the mashed potatoes do not turn out fluffy and white.
• or potato casserole will turn out more ruddy and appetizing if, before baking, brush them with a beaten egg, sprinkle with breadcrumbs and sprinkle with vegetable oil.

After all, almost every woman, having rejected boring fried potatoes and banal mashed potatoes, makes a choice in favor of everyone's favorite potato pancakes with a crispy golden crust, which simply melt in your mouth, especially if they are seasoned with fresh sour cream.

To prepare this yummy, you will need 8-9 medium-sized potatoes, two onions, the same number of carrots, as well as a few eggs and some flour. All vegetables must be grated on a fine grater, beat two or three eggs into the resulting gruel and pour in a few tablespoons of flour - just enough so that the mass acquires a slightly thick consistency. The final touch is spices to taste. Potato pancakes should be fried in a well-heated pan, previously poured with sunflower oil.

Zrazy

The name of the dish comes from the Polish word zrazy, which translates as "cut off piece". Despite this, it comes from Lithuania, where it was known back in the Middle Ages. There are a lot of cooking options, but the so-called egg and onion is most often used when the question arises of what to cook from potatoes for dinner - quickly and effortlessly. To begin with, the filling is prepared: four hard-boiled eggs are boiled, finely chopped and seasoned with chopped onions, which are pre-fried in a pan.

At the same time, about ten potato tubers in uniforms are boiled on the stove. After it is cooled and kneaded into a thick puree, adding two eggs, salt and pepper to it. The zrazy themselves are formed very simply: in one hand, the hostess sculpts a half pancake from the potato mass, places the filling in the middle and covers with the other half, securely fixing the edges. The egg and onion are inside the potato shell. Then the zrazy is rolled in breadcrumbs and fried until crispy. Served hot. What to cook from potatoes for dinner if you are allergic to eggs?

It is very popular in Ukrainian Transcarpathia: the locals adopted it from the Hungarians who have been living here for a long time. According to the method of preparation, the dish is very similar to zrazy, but it does not provide for the use of the filling - in this case, it is replaced by gravy. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

First you need to boil potatoes in uniforms - the average family of 4 usually takes about 10 tubers. After cooling the boiled potatoes, carefully peel them and rub them on a grater. You will get something like mashed potatoes, only the mass will be heterogeneous, but as if crushed. Drive a few eggs into it, pour out 3-4 tablespoons of flour, salt and pepper to taste and fry in a pan on both sides until golden brown. Serve pancakes along with gravy. To prepare it, finely chopped mushrooms and onions are stewed together in a saucepan until cooked, after which they are poured with sour cream sauce seasoned with spices.

Croquettes-thorns

For this slightly exotic, but very beautiful dish, you will need the following ingredients: half a kilogram of potatoes, two tablespoons of starch, one tablespoon of semolina, 100 g of rice vermicelli, a little vegetable oil, pepper and salt. Potato tubers must be peeled and boiled for about half an hour until tender. Then they are mashed with a fork to a puree state, to which starch, semolina and spices are added. Everything is well kneaded and round balls are formed from the resulting mass.

Vermicelli is crumbled and croquettes are rolled in it. They should be fried in a small saucepan: the finished “thorns” become golden in color. Then they are laid out on a paper towel to rid the balls of excess fat. Served both hot and cold. In the first case, they can be poured over with any sauce, in the second, they can be used as an appetizer. The main thing is that this recipe is suitable for those cases when visitors unexpectedly dropped in on your fire, and you are at a loss to guess what to cook from potatoes for dinner.
