This not only improves the taste and texture of potatoes, but also maintains your safety in the kitchen.

Potatoes will become more crispy and safe with this small step.
According to Chef Ranveer, if water drops remain on the potatoes, the oil will splatter rapidly as soon as they are put in hot oil, which increases the risk of burning. That is why it is very important to drain the potatoes for your safety. Apart from this, dried potatoes cook better in oil and become crispy from outside. So next time whenever you are going to fry potatoes, before putting them in hot oil, take a minute and wipe or squeeze them thoroughly with a clean towel. This small step will not only save you from oil splatter but will also improve the taste and texture of your food.
