How to cook it
-
Peel the potatoes and cut them into very thin matchsticks, using a mandoline if you have one for even shreds.
-
Rinse the shredded potatoes in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear, to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry.
-
Mince the garlic and slice the scallions and dried chilies.
-
Heat the oil in a wok over high heat and fry the dried chilies and garlic until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
-
Add the potato shreds and toss constantly over high heat for 2 minutes.
-
Continue stir-frying, tossing often, until the potatoes are crisp-tender but still have a slight bite, about 3 minutes more.
-
Add the rice vinegar and salt and toss quickly to coat, which keeps the shreds bright and prevents overcooking.
-
Scatter with scallions and serve hot.
