Country-Style Potatoes with Sauce
6 servings
60 minutes
A classic recipe, the very same potato that is so great to gobble up at some roadside fast food outlet. It is easy to cook, the main thing is that you get good potatoes - fresh, firm, juicy . Exactly such a tuber will be able to form a light but obvious crust at the exit, while preserving the tender crumbly pulp inside the slice. The contrast of the crust and pulp is not enough, you also need a beautiful set of spices from paprika, nutmeg, chili and garlic, which are traditionally used to powder country-style potatoes. Classic country-style potatoes should be served with a classic sauce - a mix of sour cream, mayonnaise with the addition of garlic and herbs.
