  • How do you make fried potatoes with eggplant?
    1. Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into quarters, and fry in vegetable oil until golden.
    1. Peel the onion, slice it into thin half-rings, and add it to the potatoes.
    1. Peel and wash the carrots, cut them in half lengthwise, then into thin slices. Add them after the onion and fry over low heat for 10 minutes.
    1. Wash the eggplant, cut it into small cubes, add to the pan, and keep frying for another 8–10 minutes.
    1. By now the vegetables should be soft. Peel the garlic, run it through a press, add it to the pan, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook 2 minutes more.
    1. Wash and chop the fresh herbs and scatter them over the finished vegetables.
  • Enjoy!
  • How do you take the bitterness out of eggplant? Cut the eggplant into slices, rounds, or cubes, salt it, and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it weeps liquid. Drain off that liquid, rinse the eggplant, and go ahead with cooking.
  • Keep in mind that how you cut the carrots shapes the final dish: grated carrots break down into a purée as they cook and blend evenly into everything else, while carrots cut into strips or sticks hold their shape.
  • Important! The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. See here for all the details on choosing the perfect skillet for different dishes.
