Recipe
Sweet and Sour Chili Potatoes
Stir-fried potato matchsticks tossed with garlic, chili, and a bright vinegar-sugar glaze. Tangy, spicy, and dangerously addictive.
Method
- 01Peel the potatoes. Using a julienne slicer (or sharp knife), cut into very thin matchsticks about 1/8 inch thick. Keep them as even as possible so they cook at the same rate.
- 02Place sliced potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Rinse several times until water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch and keeps potatoes crisp. Soak 5 minutes, then drain and pat very dry.
- 03Place a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add oil once the pan is hot.
- 04Add potatoes to hot oil. Stir-fry on high heat for 3-4 minutes, tossing frequently. Cook until they soften slightly but still have a crisp bite.
- 05Push potatoes to the sides of the pan, creating a pocket in the center. Add garlic and sliced chilies to the pocket. Stir for about 10 seconds until fragrant.
- 06Add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Toss everything together for 30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
