Do I Need To Boil Potatoes Before Frying Them?
It’s not necessary to boil potatoes before frying them, but it does help to soften them up and make them cook faster. If you’re in a hurry and need your potatoes to be crispy, you can skip the boiling step, but be aware that they may take longer to cook. Boiling them for a few minutes beforehand will improve the texture and taste of your fried potatoes.
