Fried potatoes with kefir in a frying pan

Fried potatoes are a dish loved by many, but you can cook it not only in the classic way. The combination with fermented milk products makes its taste not only richer, but also incredibly tender. We cook potatoes in a new way and save the recipe in bookmarks for the daily menu.

Peel the onions and potatoes, wash and send the vegetables to a bowl with cold water. This will avoid tears while slicing onions, and also will not allow the potatoes to darken until it is his turn.

Cut the onion into small cubes. We heat a frying pan with vegetable oil, spread the onion and fry, gradually it will become transparent, and then it will begin to acquire a golden hue. Stir constantly so as not to burn - this will add unnecessary bitterness.

Cut potatoes into thin cubes. At the time when the onion has turned golden, add the potatoes, salt and mix well. Do not cover with a lid, fry almost until cooked, at the end add ground black pepper. During the frying process, stir the potatoes, but gently and not too often, so as not to turn it into a homogeneous puree.

At this stage, add kefir to the potatoes. Stir the contents of the pan and cover with a lid. At this stage, you can slightly reduce the heat so that the boiling is not too violent and the liquid does not evaporate instantly.

Stew potatoes in kefir for 10 minutes. We control the process by the amount of liquid in the pan, it should evaporate. As soon as all the kefir has soaked into the potatoes, turn it off and we can serve the finished dish to the table.

It is best to serve fried potatoes with kefir, sprinkled with a small amount of chopped dill or parsley, supplemented with salted tomatoes or cucumbers. The dish is an independent full-fledged dinner or can serve as a side dish to cutlets, fried, boiled meat or fish.

Bon appetit!
