HOT AND NUMBING STIR-FRIED NEW POTATOES
These stir-fried potatoes are inspired by a modern street snack served in Xi'an, China. They can be parboiled in advance, require only a few minutes of stir-frying in a wok before serving, and can be flavored with a wide range of spices and aromatics, making them an ideal side dish for any menu, simple or complex. In addition to the Xi'an-style original with hot and numbing spices, you can also make a curry-spiced version with crunchy, fried cumin and mustard seeds, or a rosemary and garlic version that would be at home on a traditional Thanksgiving table (see Tips).

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cool water by 2 inches. Season heavily with salt. (The water should taste like very salty seawater once the salt has dissolved.) Place over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until there's no resistance when a knife or cake tester is poked through the largest potato, about 10 minutes after they come to a boil. Drain potatoes and spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet to air-dry.
- While the potatoes cook, make the spice blend: In a small bowl, shake the Sichuan peppercorns and discard any shiny black seeds, twigs or leaf fragments. Add the husks to a dry wok, along with the star anise, fennel seeds, white peppercorns and half the cumin seeds. Toast over medium heat, tossing frequently, until very aromatic, about 2 minutes. Transfer mixture to a small bowl to cool slightly. Return wok to heat and add remaining cumin seeds and the chiles. Toss and stir until very aromatic, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a second small bowl.
- When cool, transfer the spice mixture in the first bowl, along with the 2 chiles from the second bowl to an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle. Add salt, sugar and chicken bouillon. Grind to a fine powder and return to the empty bowl.
- Add the cumin seeds that toasted with the chiles to the spice grinder or the mortar (no need to clean it out) and pound or pulse until very coarsely ground. (There should be large, distinct pieces of cumin seeds.) Add half-ground cumin and the sesame seeds to the rest of the spice mixture and stir to incorporate.
- Stir-fry the potatoes: When potatoes are dry, heat 3 tablespoons oil in the wok over high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
- Clear a small space in the center of the wok and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to it. Immediately add the garlic, scallions and spice mixture to the oil and stir until aromatic, about 15 seconds. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated in spices, about 15 seconds. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Baby potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they cook quickly and evenly. You can use any variety of baby potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, red potatoes, or fingerling potatoes.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Don't peel the potatoes: The skin of the potatoes is where most of the nutrients are, so it's best to leave them on.
- Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the potatoes are too large, cut them into quarters or eighths.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Don't crowd the skillet: When cooking the potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the potatoes over medium heat: Medium heat is best for cooking the potatoes. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Stir the potatoes occasionally: Stir the potatoes occasionally while they are cooking to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes to taste: Once the potatoes are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder.
Conclusion:
This recipe for baby potatoes with cumin is a simple and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the cumin adds a warm and earthy flavor. This dish is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy choice for your family.
