Above are all the ingredients needed to make this dish. Dried chili pepper and Szechuan peppercorn are easy to find at Chinese grocery stores.

Blanch the shredded potatoesI like to boil the shredded potato for a minute before stir-frying, this helps to shorten the cooking time later.

Not only is this one of the easiest Chinese veggie recipes to make, this Szechuan style shredded potatoes is also very budget-friendly. The total cost of the all the ingredients are around 2 dollars!

The crunchy potato is spicy and sour taste. Make you keep wanting to take another bite!

  • a pinch of Szechuan Peppercorn
  • a pinch of chopped green onion
  • ¼ cup oil

  • ½ tablespoon soy sauce
  • ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
Instructions

  2. Boil the shredded potato for about 1 minute, stir occasionally, drain well and set aside.
  3. Heat a pan over high heat, add cold oil and toss in the Szechuan peppercorn and dried chili pepper, saute 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.
  4. Carefully add the potato to the pan, stir-fry for about 1 minute, add green onion, salt, soy sauce and rice vinegar, keep stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes, making sure the seasonings are spread evenly.
  5. Remove from heat, transfer to a plate and serve.
Notes
Rinse the shredded potato under running cold water helps to wash off the starch on the surface.
Soak the potato under cold water helps to 1) keep them from oxidizing, 2) keeps the potato stay crispy.
Boil the potato with hot water first will reduce the time for stir-frying.
