Step 5
At this time, cut the potatoes into slices. If you peeled them before boiling, then slice them together with the peel. If the root vegetables are raw, first fry the potatoes and only then add the onion. Peel and rinse the onion, and cut half of it into half-rings. Fry everything in a skillet in vegetable oil for about 5–8 minutes until golden brown.
