Stir-fried shredded potatoes

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Peel the potatoes, wash the green peppers, and peel the garlic.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   After shredding the potatoes, rinse them twice with water and soak them for at least 2 minutes. Slice the garlic, cut the green chili into wedges, and chop the scallions. (If you don't wash the potatoes twice, you're just making mashed potatoes. Don't ask why, just try it and you'll see.)

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   Heat a pan, add oil, and turn off the heat when the oil is smoking heavily. Wait 1 minute (homemade cooking oil is always safe and reliable).

   

4. 04

   Step 4

   Turn on the heat (medium heat), then add the dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, garlic, and green bell peppers in that order (letting the oil cool 1 minute beforehand is to prevent the dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns from burning).

   

5. 05

   Step 5

   Drain the shredded potatoes and add them to the pan. Stir-fry quickly for 3 minutes (the exact time depends on the thickness of the shredded potatoes; thinner shreds cook faster).

   Step 6

   Sprinkle with salt (you can add MSG if you like, but my family doesn't), plate it after cooking, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and it's perfect.
