Perfectly Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes Recipe
The Easiest and Most Delicious Side Dish: Stir-Fried Shredded Potatoes, Recreate Mom’s Taste with This Simple Recipe
Hello everyone! This is Henri’s Sister. Today, I made stir-fried shredded potatoes, a beloved classic side dish. Isn’t it the easiest and tastiest way to prepare potatoes? I don’t think anyone dislikes this dish! Growing up, my mom’s stir-fried potatoes were always gone too quickly, leaving me wanting more. So now, I make a generous portion for myself. This recipe is simple, delicious, and perfect for any meal!
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes (about the size of a paper cup)
- 2 medium onions (about the size of a paper cup)
- A small amount of carrot (just enough for color)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the potatoes and onions thoroughly without peeling. Make sure to scrub off any dirt or debris.
Step 2
Next, julienne the washed potatoes, onions, and carrot into similar thin strips. For stir-fried shredded potatoes, a slight stickiness from the starch makes them even more delicious. If you’re not comfortable with knife skills, a mandoline slicer can be helpful.
Step 3
Prepare a frying pan or wok. Add about 3 tablespoons of cooking oil (using a spoon for measurement) and heat it over medium-low heat before turning up the flame. Let the pan heat up sufficiently.
Step 4
Once the oil is warm enough, add all the julienned potatoes, carrots, and onions to the pan.
Step 5
Stir-fry the ingredients gently over medium-low heat to ensure the potatoes cook through without burning. Stirring by scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula can prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Step 6
To check if the potatoes are almost cooked, take out a strand and try biting into it. When they are tender, pour 1 tablespoon of soy sauce (spoon measurement) around the edges of the pan. My mother always used to add soy sauce this way when she cooked.
Step 7
Letting the soy sauce caramelize slightly on the hot pan adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the potatoes. Continue to stir-fry until the soy sauce is well combined with all the ingredients.
Step 8
Now, your delicious stir-fried shredded potatoes are almost ready! Taste them and, if needed, add a tiny pinch of salt to adjust the seasoning. The combination of tender potatoes and sweet onions is truly unbeatable, isn’t it? It’s a dish that will make you finish your rice in no time!
Step 9
Transfer the finished stir-fried shredded potatoes to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of flavor and aroma to complete the dish. Now, enjoy your meal with a hot bowl of rice!
