In the oven:Pre-heat the oven 250°C. Spread out the products over one layer. Fry the potato noisettes for about 15 minutes.

That text was written on a potato noisette packet.

I wonder why the verb fry is used.

I look into the Harrap's, fry is used for frying in oil. There is no oil in the oven. Is there a reason I don't see or is it a mistake ?

maybe it means that you must add oil even if it's in the oven ?

No oil. You just spread potato over a paper of aluminium and wait 15 minutes. It works. I cooked that yesterday. Now everyone would know what I had cooked yesterday evening!

I shouldn't have read the instructions.

It must be very delicious !!!!

Anyway, yann, I really don't know why they used "fry". And I read your topic well but it was only a suggestion I gave.

Maybe it's another american word ?

Thanks travis. Now I am sure, there is an error. That's a second class translation to statisfy European rules.

I think fry means: "Cook on a hot surface using fat"

For me, you don't mind the verb fry. The only core information in this sentence is "15 minutes".

Good appetite.

If it is not "fry", it is .....???????????? Cook ? Bake ? Roast ? Simmer ? Stew ? Grill ? Boil ? Steam ?
For me, "bake" is better here ..............Traviskidd ???

hello!

while waiting for OUR bodyguard now, let me tell you that you're right, willy. They should have written "bake".
anyway, we still need your opinion, travis.

Bake! you are great willy. Thanks for the over cooking verbs too. It will help me to express myself more precisely.

Well, Yannloic, I did it on purpose ! I thought it could be useful.
