Sour and Spicy Potato Shreds
This vibrant and zesty Stir-Fried Spicy Potato Shreds recipe is a perfect balance of heat, tang, and crunch! Thinly sliced potatoes are soaked to remove excess starch, then quickly stir-fried with fragrant dried chili peppers, fresh chilies, and garlic for a bold, aromatic kick. A tangy vinegar-lemon sauce adds a refreshing twist, while crisp green peppers and scallions bring color and freshness. The secret? A splash of white vinegar during soaking keeps the potatoes crisp, and a quick fry ensures they stay tender yet firm. Ideal as a side dish or a standalone appetizer, this dish is a fiery, flavorful delight that’s ready in minutes. Perfect for spice lovers looking for a quick, restaurant-style dish at home!
