Secrets and features of cooking
These mushrooms are low in calories, but at the same time filling, so they are considered a dietary product, and dishes made from them will especially appeal to those who are watching their figure. However, there are also recipes with oyster mushrooms that, although they cannot be called low-calorie, their taste and aroma make you forget about diets for a while.
One of these dishes is fried potatoes with oyster mushrooms, beloved by many Russian families. You can always cook it according to one recipe, but it’s better to diversify it. Below are several different ways to cook potatoes, as well as tips and tricks for improving their taste.
Properly fried potatoes with oyster mushrooms turn out crispy with an appetizing crust, but for this, during the cooking process you need to remember some nuances common to each recipe:
- When buying oyster mushrooms, you should remember that their caps should not have yellowish spots (neither on top nor on the bottom).
- These mushrooms are best stored in plastic or glass containers.
- Cooking oyster mushrooms does not require additional processing: you just need to rinse them well and do not need to boil them.
- Oyster mushrooms are specific mushrooms that, if not sufficiently heat treated, become “watery”, give off excess moisture, and if overheated, become “rubbery” or burn. Therefore, they should be fried separately from the potatoes and combined with them almost at the end of cooking.
- Oyster mushrooms should be cut into larger pieces, since during frying they significantly decrease in size, resulting in them losing their original appearance.
- To give the mushrooms a richer aroma, you can add a little finely chopped onion to them during the frying process and bring it to a golden color.
- For frying, it is better to take potato varieties containing a small amount of starch: red or yellow. These vegetables will not fall apart during the cooking process.
- In any case, so that fried potatoes do not turn into a puree-like mass, but have a crispy crust, they should be salted only at the end of cooking, and not at the beginning or middle.
- For the same purpose, the sliced vegetable is poured with boiling water for 2 minutes, and then with ice water for 5 minutes. After drying the potatoes with a kitchen towel, you can put them in a frying pan in well-heated oil.
- To prevent potato pieces from sticking together, they must be immersed in cold water, soaked for 2.5 hours, and then dried on a towel.
- If you use a little mustard oil in the recipe, the potatoes will turn out fragrant and acquire a beautiful and pleasant color.
All of the above tips are suitable for frying potatoes not only with oyster mushrooms, but also with any other mushrooms (except for their individual processing): honey mushrooms, champignons, chanterelles, porcini and others. Mushrooms of almost any type will provide a fried potato dish with an original and bright taste.
