Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (300 grams / 10 ounces) large potato (, shredded (preferably the waxy type))
2 tablespoons garlic (, minced)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons peanut oil ((or vegetable oil))
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn
2 pieces dried chili pepper, broken into 2 - 3 pieces ((Optional))

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add potato, then boil until the potato is cooked through, but still crisp.
  • Drain potato and rinse it with cold water, to remove the starch and maintain a firm texture. Drain and transfer potato to a large bowl.
  • Add garlic to potato, sprinkle salt on top, and set aside.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a small skillet (or a wok). When the oil is warm, add peppercorn and cook them until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat. Use a spatula (or a ladle) to scoop out the peppercorn, then discard them. (optional) Add chili pepper and stir for a few times, until the chili pepper turns dark brown.
  • Carefully pour the hot oil over the potato, and use two pairs of chopsticks to mix everything together immediately to coat potato evenly with oil and salt.
  • Serve at room temperature as a side dish or as a salad.

SPICY CHINESE POTATO SALAD



Spicy Chinese Potato Salad image

I saw a recipe like this on another web site. There were two ingredients I did not like...so by the time I changed that, I was also changing other things and came up with this....a potato salad WITHOUT the white stuff! UPDATE: My thanks to Susie D for reviewing recipe and for her honesty about the oil. It was not oily when I put it together and perhaps that was due to mixing while the potatoes were still very warm, thus absorbing the oil.
