Before frying potatoes, Chef Ranveer Brar recommends this simple step to prevent oil splatters

Chef Ranveer Brar recommends drying potatoes thoroughly before frying to prevent oil splatters and reduce burn risk.

After washing, squeeze potatoes in a towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

Excess water on potatoes causes hot oil to splatter, increasing the risk of burns while cooking.

Drying potatoes also helps them cook evenly and develop a crispier exterior.

This step applies to dishes like fries and aloo tikki.
