Pan-fried potatoes topped with onion and carrot.
Ingredients:
- 4 large or 5-6 small potatoes
- vegetable oil
- salt and pepper to taste.
Method:
Onion and carrot finely chop and fry over medium heat until soft.
Move mixture of onions and carrots from frying pan in the bowl.
Peel the potatoes and cut into sticks or strips.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat.
For best results, you can rinse chopped potatoes with cold water and dry with a towel.
Put chopped potatoes in hot oil with a layer of no more than 4 cm, and cover evenly with the mixture of the previously fried onions and carrots.
Cover pan with a lid.
Do not stir and cook over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are soft (fork-tender), and only at the end reduce heat to low.
Potatoes get well-fried, with a crispy crust.
Sprinkle with the desirable amount of salt and black pepper, add a little butter.
Apple pie 'Lazy Afternoon'.
Ingredients:
200g - 1 cup flour
200g - 1 cup sugar
200g - 1 cup semolina
Half teaspoon of Baking Powder
200g butter or margarine
Filling:
6 medium-sized apples.
Cinnamon and lemon juice.
In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: the flour, the baking powder, the sugar, the semolina, baking powder. (1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, 1 cup semolina)
Separately: Apples grate on a coarse grater.
Brush a cake pan with a butter.
Coat the buttered moulds with 1/3 flour mixture (If you decide to make three layers), spread evenly layer of apples over the surface, sprinkle with cinnamon and lemon juice. Again: a layer of a dry mixture...apples, cinnamon and lemon juice - so, three times!
The top should be a layer of apples.
200 g butter bring to a boil.
Pierce the Pie in several places, and pour boiling butter evenly on top.
Bake at 180°C, 40-45 minutes.
Note: This cake tastes even better on the second day, as the flavors meld and mellow.
