Main Ingredients- 5 medium potatoes
- 4 Cheongyang peppers (or substitute with jalapeños for milder heat)
- 1 stalk of green onion
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully check and prepare all the ingredients listed for the recipe. Fresh ingredients are the foundation of a delicious dish.
Step 2
Peel the 5 medium potatoes and cut them into thin shreds. To remove excess starch and ensure a crisp texture, soak the shredded potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes. This step also helps prevent the potato shreds from clumping together.
Step 3
Finely chop the green onion. For the Cheongyang peppers, remove the seeds and mince them finely. The spicy flavor of the Cheongyang peppers will add wonderful depth to the potato stir-fry. If you enjoy a spicier taste, feel free to leave the seeds in.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and add 5 tablespoons of cooking oil. Depending on your pan and stove’s heat, you might need slightly more oil, so keep an eye on it as you stir-fry the potatoes and adjust as needed. 5 tablespoons is generally a good starting point.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the prepared shredded potatoes to the pan. Stir-fry until the potatoes become translucent and tender, which usually takes about 15 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your potato shreds. Be careful not to cook on excessively high heat to prevent burning.
Step 6
When the potatoes are almost cooked through and feel tender, add 0.5 tablespoon of salt to season. Gently mix to ensure the salt is evenly distributed and the potatoes absorb the flavor.
Step 7
Next, sprinkle in about 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to enhance the aroma and flavor. Pepper will further elevate the taste of the potatoes.
Step 8
Finally, add all the chopped green onion and minced Cheongyang peppers to the pan. Stir-fry quickly just two or three times to combine. It’s important not to overcook at this stage to keep the fresh aroma of the scallions and peppers. Turn off the heat immediately.
Step 9
Transfer the finished stir-fried potato dish to a serving container. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds over the top for an added nutty flavor. Your delicious spicy shredded potato stir-fry with Cheongyang peppers is now complete! Enjoy it with a warm bowl of rice.
