Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes very thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cloves garlic peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 scallions or green onions sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 serrano chile pepper stemmed and sliced
Instructions
- Soak the potatoes in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- To prepare the sauce, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and red pepper flakes with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a 10" cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes, or until the oil is shimmering. Add the potatoes and fry, turning every minute or so, until they are fork-tender about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Add the garlic, scallions, and Serrano pepper to the pan. Sauté for 60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and toss well. Cook, turning the potatoes frequently, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the potatoes have absorbed the sauce.

Notes
- Storage Info:
- To store Chinese Potatoes, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator; they will remain good for up to 3 days. Freezing is not advisable as it can change the texture. For reheating, spread them on a baking sheet and heat in an oven preheated to 350°F (about 175°C) for 10-15 minutes. This method helps retain their crispiness and flavor.
