Scallion Potato Stir-Fry: A Simple & Delicious Guide

Scallion potato stir-fry is a beloved home dish, loved for its crispy texture, fresh aroma, and versatility. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients: 2 medium potatoes (julienne-cut), 3-4 scallions (sliced, white and green parts separated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp vinegar, ½ tsp sugar, a pinch of salt, and 3 tbsp cooking oil.

Steps:

1. Prep the potatoes: Soak julienned potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry. This ensures crispiness.

2. Season the wok: Heat oil over high heat. Add minced garlic and white parts of scallions, stir-fry until fragrant (30 seconds).

3. Stir-fry potatoes: Toss in potatoes, stir-fry 3-4 minutes until slightly golden. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 2 minutes until tender but not mushy.

4. Season and finish: Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Increase heat, add green scallion parts, and stir-fry 1 more minute.

Tips: For extra flavor, a pinch of white pepper or chili flakes can be added. Serve hot as a side or with rice. Quick, easy, and bursting with umami, this dish is a staple for any meal!
