LAO NAI YANG YU (CHINESE SPICY MASHED POTATOES)



Lao Nai Yang Yu (Chinese Spicy Mashed Potatoes) image

This is a dish our family likes to order in Kunming. The name literally means "Old granny potatoes" because it's well-suited to people who have no teeth. I've never seen how it's made, but I found the following description at http://www.etours.cn/china_city_guide/yunnan_travel_guide/dining/kunming_food.php : "Making method is very simple and popular for people of all ages. In fact we can think of it as a kind of mashed potato stir-fried with vegetable oil, chopped shallot and onion, and sliced green pepper and hams and so on. Assistant materials are added according to individual taste." With that description and my own memory of the dish to go on, here's a recipe!

Provided by Kate S.

Categories     Mashed Potatoes

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb waxy potato
1/3 cup peanut oil or 1/3 cup canola oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed and sliced
4 whole dried red chilies, stem ends removed (optional)
4 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup fresh fennel greens, chopped (optional)
2 teaspoons hot Chinese chili paste (or to taste) (optional)
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, and dice into 1-inch cubes.
  • Boil potatoes in water for 10 minutes or until done. Drain water.
  • Mash potatoes briefly with a hand masher--there should still be a lot of large lumps.
  • Heat empty wok over highest heat until you can see heat rise from the surface.
  • Add peanut oil and swirl in wok for a moment until heated.
  • Add garlic cloves and chilies and toss in oil for a moment until fragrant. If the garlic starts to brown before you get the other ingredients added, move off heat for a moment.
  • Add green onions, fennel, chili paste, and salt and stir-fry for a moment until ingredients are fully combined and green onion is wilted. (The fennel of Yunnan has only leafy green parts, no bulb, so it resembles dillweed.).
  • Add potatoes, stir-fry until ingredients are thoroughly combined and potatoes are heated through.
  • Serves 4 as part of a Chinese meal (a couple of meat dishes, a green vegetable, lao nai potatoes, a soup, and white rice).

SPICY MASHED SWEET POTATOES



SPICY MASHED SWEET POTATOES image

Categories     Potato     Side     Healthy     Vegan

Yield 12 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds sweet potatoes, (4-5 large)
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground (see Tip)
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pierce each sweet potato in several places with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and roast until soft, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a cutting board; let stand until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Slip off the skins and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch slices; transfer to a large bowl. Add butter. Smash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until fluffy but some lumps remain. Add maple syrup, chili powder, ground cumin, ginger, salt and pepper; stir to combine.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for mashed potatoes because they are starchy and creamy.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Boil the potatoes in salted water: The salt will help to flavor the potatoes.
  • Drain the potatoes well: This will help to prevent the mashed potatoes from being watery.
  • Mash the potatoes until smooth: You can use a potato masher, ricer, or food processor to mash the potatoes.
  • Add milk, butter, and seasonings: Start with a small amount of milk and butter, and then add more to taste. Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • For spicy mashed potatoes, add diced jalapeños, chili powder, and cayenne pepper: Start with a small amount of each ingredient, and then add more to taste.
  • Garnish the mashed potatoes with chopped chives, parsley, or bacon: This will add flavor and color to the dish.
