Main Ingredients
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1/4 onion
- 2 slices of ham
Seasoning
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp cooking oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into thin shreds. Rinsing the shredded potatoes under cold water helps remove excess starch, preventing them from sticking together and resulting in a cleaner stir-fry. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry until they become slightly translucent and begin to soften. Cooking them until they just start to turn transparent is key.
Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking, thinly slice the onion and cut the ham into strips similar in size to the potato shreds. For a less greasy and more refined taste, you can briefly blanch the ham in boiling water before slicing.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are mostly cooked and translucent, add the sliced onion and ham to the pan. Continue to stir-fry everything together until the ingredients are well combined. Cook until the onions are slightly softened and the ham is lightly browned.
Step 4
Finally, it’s time to season. Lightly sprinkle salt twice (‘tok tok’) and pepper three times (‘tok tok tok’) to enhance the flavor, adjusting to your preference. Add more salt if needed, and once the seasoning is just right, turn off the heat.
Step 5
Serve this delicious side dish, stir-fried shredded potatoes, in a dish! It’s wonderfully paired with a bowl of hot rice. For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top.
