When I was a student, I lived in a hostel. One of the main problems was quick and cheap to cook to eat.
Somehow on the casch kitchen, I noticed a strange way to prepare potatoes. My neighbor scratched raw potatoes for a fork. I was very surprised at this. But when the neighbor gave to try the cooked potatoes, it turned out very tasty.
The corrugated surface made the taste of potatoes amazingly fragrant with a crispy crust. In addition, "ribs" better absorb various seasonings. It makes the dish more piquant.
So, how to make potatoes on the recipe of a neighbor from the dash?
First you need to clean and wash the potatoes. Then dried with a paper towel.
Then comes the main action of this "rite". Take the plug and scratch potatoes slightly. It is important to scratch not much and not to leave too deep furrows.
Make so that the surface is a little corrugated.
After that, you can cut the vegetable slices, add spices. Further fry on the heated vegetable oil until readiness.
In case you have a young potato, it can not be previously cleaned. It is only necessary to wash and make furrows right through the peel.
