Instructions

  1. Add potatoes to a medium pot and water to cover potatoes. Bring to a boil, and continue to boil until the potatoes just turn soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Once done, rinse the potatoes with cold tap water to stop cooking. Drain potatoes thoroughly and let them dry a bit. This helps crisp up the potatoes.
  3. Mix the chili flakes, cumin powder, and ground Sichuan peppercorn powder in a small bowl.
  4. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the potato and sprinkle with the salt. Stir a few times to coat well with oil then spread out into a single layer without overlapping. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the surfaces turn golden crispy, about 8 minutes or so. Add the garlic, green onion, and sprinkle with the spice mix. Pour in a bit of oil if the potatoes look dry. Cook and stir until everything is mixed well together. Serve hot as a side or as breakfast with sunnyside eggs.

Notes

  • Yukon potato or red potato works as well, depending on the texture you prefer.
