This topic was created specifically for those who wanted to learn how to fry potatoes with garlic in the
topic about Lebedev (+ photo).
In fact, everything is very simple :) But please, if you decide to cook, first read to the end, so as not to confuse the steps.

1. Peel the potatoes so that they are enough for the frying pan. There is someone who knows how. Here are craftsmen shaving potatoes.

2. We put on the stove, on the "strong fire" pan. Of course, the Soviet cast iron is better, although on Teflon it turns out not much worse. Naturally, we add vegetable oil to the bottom (I like refined, deodorized).

3. Cut it into small slices. My slices are obtained in the form of a crescent, the size of an average of 1.5x3 cm and a thickness of 2-5 mm. I think there will be no problems with another form. You can try the form futurico bots.

Of course it's a joke :)
Here is an easy way to cut potatoes:

4. When the pan is hot enough, pour our potatoes there. The fire is not reducing.

5. Here comes the most difficult moment for an IT person. We must overpower ourselves and not interfere with the potatoes all the time. We must wait until a part of the potato mass in contact with the pan, covered with a crispy brownish-golden crust. Then mix and wait again. This continues until the required ratio of toasted and soft slices is reached. I like toasting slightly more than soft ones (60%).

Here is such a potato is obtained:

6. While the potatoes are fried on the stove, we need to chop the garlic. The number of it again for an amateur, I use 2-3 cloves per pan. Chop garlic with “ringlets” (2) or straws (1), I recommend not very large.


7. When in point 5 we have achieved the necessary ratio, reduce the heat, salt to taste, add garlic prepared in advance, mix and cover with a lid.

8. Now you have time to go online and invite friends for potatoes. She needed a little steaming, so that the dried pieces became a bit more tender, so that there were no non-fried slices. Literally 5-7 minutes.
About laurel: Before loading garlic, steamed potatoes with two bay leaves, then added garlic, mixed. Already steamed leaves put on top, removed after the dish was ready. Summary: the worse did not become unequivocal, the only thing, for me, is not familiar, because the taste and aroma of bay leaf are still present.

It is recommended to use this dish hot, immediately after cooking. It is possible for reading Habrahabr.
Enjoy your meal.
PS: Especially for IT Habrahabra! Good luck!
