Cut potatoes into thick spears using a crinkle cutter (about ½ inch thick). Soak in water to rinse off excess starch.

already made the Sizzling Dry Pot Potatoes (Gan Guo Tu Dou) and it was by far one of the tastiest potato dishes i've ever had!
Instructions:
Slice potatoes thinly and cut into fine matchsticks (julienne). Immediately soak and rinse in water until the water runs clear to remove starch.
Wow that took me right back to the streets of Chengdu.
As a German it's a stereotype, but I love potatoes - there has to be some base for that.
I could smell and taste each dish from memory.
I so much enjoyed the food. My husband was there for work and studies at the people's hospital, I only ate like a hobbit all day and played mahjong in the park. It was a blast and a suprise at every corner.
Albeit being gay and already married I nearly got married to the daughter of one of my fiercest Mahjong adversaries, but we settled on pickled rabbit heads and snow beer instead of marriage.
I really miss Chengdu and the people there.
Bring water to a boil with 2 tbsp vinegar. Blanch potatoes for 20 seconds until slightly translucent. Drain and shock in cold water immediately.
Mix the sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
Was hoping to see Laonai Yangyu... By far my favorite Chinese potato recipe.
Heat a wok with 2 tbsp oil. Sauté dried chilies and garlic for 10 seconds.
Add potatoes and peppers; stir fry fast for 30 seconds.
These all look so good and I think I'll be making the Dry Pot one sometime soon.
Pour in sauce mixture and green onions. Toss on high heat to coat evenly and serve.

4. Chinese BBQ-Style Baby Potatoes

6:35 My mom just uses steak seasoning for her baby potatoes, and they come out very dry because she fries them straight up. I'll steam them first and play with the other spices in our pantry.
