Simple but delicious fried potato

Nadezhda Platonova is the director of the Nornickel company’s industrial safety and labor protection department.

#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. In the new episode of the Around Food gastro-show, the Nornickel company’s industrial safety and labor protection department head Nadezhda Platonova shares the secrets of cooking traditional village dishes: fried potatoes with mushrooms and onions and vegetable salad.

This is no coincidence, because Nadezhda lived in the countryside until she was fourteen years old and still keeps memories of the village way of life in her heart.

“I spent my childhood there, I helped plant potatoes and collect Colorado beetles, because this is usually the case in villages: if you don’t help with the gardening, you won’t be allowed to spend time with friends”, the episode heroine shared her memories.

While the products for the dish were being prepared, Nadezhda also told a little about her work.

The path to occupational safety was not a straight line for Nadezhda. At first, she got a job as a chemist in a laboratory in the city of Cherepovets, but soon she realized that this was not quite her thing, and the fate presented her an opportunity to discover a new field. She worked in occupational safety at a metallurgical company in Cherepovets for nine years, after which she was offered a job in Chita, and since 2023, Nadezhda has been heading a department at Nornickel.

During her career, Nadezhda realized the main thing: any manager can do little alone, so her team and trusting relationships within the team always come first for her.

“Now I have exactly this kind of staff, it is important for me that we are all on the same page, I have spent a lot of effort and resources to achieve this”, Nadezhda said.

She also considers the ability to keep up with the times to be important in her work. So, for about a year now, a Telegram channel called Observe Something at Least has been working, where short videos tell about the rules and principles of safety during the work process in an accessible and entertaining form.

“Even though the name seems frivolous, there are short and informative videos that will definitely remain in the memory and something will still stick in the viewer’s mind”, Nadezhda noted.

At the end of the episode, the host Anton Zaitsev and Nadezhda Platonova traditionally tasted the dishes. The fried potatoes and vegetable salad turned out great, and this was undoubtedly influenced by the little tricks that Nadezhda used in the cooking process.

She added chopped dried porcini mushrooms to the champignons and onions fried in olive oil for a summer flavor. Separately, she fried the potatoes over high heat until golden brown. To reach this effect, you don’t have to turn them over often during frying. At the end, she added the prepared mushrooms and salt.

The salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, greens and sour cream was supplemented with sun-dried tomatoes to enhance the flavor.

In the show’s previous episode, Anastasia Perfilieva, a successful top manager of Nornickel, shared a recipe for a hearty frittata for breakfast.
