Young Potatoes in Butter

by Editorial Staff

An interesting way to cook young potatoes is to fry them in butter! Small potatoes will be especially tasty. It must be boiled beforehand, and do not spare the oil for deep fat, then the potatoes will turn out perfect – soft on the inside, with an appetizing thin crust on the outside. Not potatoes, but golden nuts!)
