Instructions
- Peel the potatoes. Thinly slice them, then cut the slices into fine julienne strips (see note 1 & 2).
- Heat up ½ tablespoon of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Stir in ¼ of the potato strips, along with ¼ of the spring onion and fresh chilli. Sprinkle with ground Sichuan pepper (or cumin powder) and salt.
- When the potato strips become slightly soft, press them with a spatular to form a flat, round shape.
- Flip over (with the help of a plate if necessary) when the first side is golden brown.
- Transfer to a plate when the second side is done. Repeat the procedure to cook another three pancakes.
Notes
- Chinese cooks usually julienne potatoes with a cleaver / knife. You may use a regular grater instead.
- Unlike Chinese potato stir-fry in which you need to rinse off excess starch on the potato strips, for this pancake dish starch is kept to help the strips stick together.
