The key to achieving perfectly crispy potato shreds lies in rinsing them thoroughly to remove excess starch, then blanching briefly for a tender yet crunchy bite.

Quick stir-frying over high heat locks in the vibrant flavors, finished with fresh scallions for a bright contrast. This dish is a standout for its addictive heat and crispiness, making it an irresistible side or main. Perfect for spice lovers, it’s a simple yet impressive way to enjoy humble potatoes with a fiery Sichuan twist!

Step 1

Prepare two potatoes, peel and wash them clean.

Step 2

Use a grater to grate the potatoes into shreds, or slice them if you have good knife skills.

Step 3

Rinse the potato shreds in water 2-3 times to remove excess starch, which is the key to making them crispy. Continue rinsing until the water is clear. Then, boil a pot of water, add the potato shreds, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the potato shreds from the water and drain well.

Step 4

Prepare garlic by crushing it and chop the scallions into small pieces.

Step 5

Heat a pan with a small amount of oil, add crushed garlic and dried chili peppers to stir-fry until fragrant. Add chili oil and a small amount of Sichuan pepper powder, and stir-fry evenly. Adding Sichuan pepper powder can prevent the unpleasant feeling of biting into Sichuan pepper grains, or you can use Sichuan peppercorns as an alternative.
