Ingredients
- 900 g baby potato about 2 lb
- 2 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- ½ tablespoon chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon five spice powder or ground Sihcuan pepper, cumin powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 talk scallions finely chopped
Instructions
- Put baby potatoes into a pot and add cold water just enough to cover. Bring water to a full boil then leave to simmer over low heat until they are just cooked. Use a fork to test. It should be able to poke through with some resistance. Do not overcook ( It took me about 5 minutes to simmer).
- Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add drained potatoes. Use a glass to press each one to create some cracks (but do not mash them).
- Fry over medium heat until the first side becomes golden. Flip over to brown on the other side.
- Sprinkle the mixture of chili flakes, five spice (or ground Sichuan pepper, cumin powder) and salt. Garnish with scallions and serve immediately.
