Potato rice
Because of geographical conditions, Enshi produces potatoes, and they are selenium-enriched potatoes. Enshi selenium-enriched small potatoes are also famous. We Enshi people love to eat potatoes since childhood, and naturally try our best to make potatoes into various delicacies, and potato rice is one of them. Peel and cut potatoes, add salt, stir-fry and change color, spread them evenly at the bottom of the pot, pour in steamed rice (or uncooked rice), and steam with water (if it is uncooked rice, the water should not exceed the rice) until you can smell the burnt smell of potatoes. The side in contact with the wok is full of brown rice crust, which makes people salivate. If you like, you can also mix some meat foam spices and the like. The potato rice made by firewood stoves in rural areas is particularly fragrant. If you have the opportunity, you must eat the firewood and potato rice of the farmer.

Potato cake
Potato Baba is a common delicacy on Tujia table. Wash and grind the selected potatoes, filter, remove the potato residue, leaving the essence of potatoes-potato starch, and sink into water to form a piece. After pouring out the water, it is naturally dried in the sun and turned into powder, moisture-proof and stored. When eating, add water to dry starch, stir, add seasonings such as eggs and shredded potatoes, stir-fry in a hot pot, press into cakes, take out of the pot, let cool, cut into small pieces, add salt and seasonings such as red pepper and garlic leaves, stir-fry again, and it is crystal clear and full of vitality. It can also be fried with ingredients such as bacon.

slag
Slag is a must-have soup for Tujia people, especially in rural areas. Grind soybean into powder, then rinse the soybean powder, put it in a pot to boil, and add washed, cut and cooked leafy vegetables (cabbage, green vegetables, melon leaves, etc.). ). Slag can be divided into minced meat residue (dry residue) and clear soup residue (thin residue). In my childhood memory, in the hot summer, my mother came back from busy farm work and drank a bowl of clear soup residue to quench her thirst and refresh herself. Compared with clear soup residue, minced meat residue is more acceptable to outsiders. The most famous old restaurant in Enshi is Zhang Guan slag, which belongs to minced meat slag. Enshi Passenger Transport Center and Daughter City have branches, which are tourist gathering places.

bacon
Enshi bacon is made by cutting fresh pork into long pieces, salting it with salt, and then hanging it on the stove or smoking it in a special kang room. Bacon can be made into fried bacon (fried with other ingredients, such as garlic moss, green pepper, carrot, potato chips, fried wide pepper, smoked dried bean curd, Osmunda japonica, potato powder Baba, sheep tooth Baba, etc. ), steamed pork with rice flour, braised pork with plum, potatoes, radishes or braised pork ribs with kelp or pig's feet, less than fresh pork.
