Potatoes are also common ingredients in western food, such as French fries, thin French fries, double French fries, French fries, mashed potatoes, jacket potatoes ...
In Yunnan Province, China, the local people call the potato "potato", which still retains its origin from the name, rather than being local. People in Yunnan also like to eat potatoes. It can also be said that because Yunnan is poor and potatoes are well planted, several varieties have been planted in this land, all of which are good and have their own characteristics.
Every child who grows up in Yunnan is not accompanied by various potato dishes. The most popular is "fried potatoes". When potatoes are cut into waves and fried, they can be fried crisp or golden and soft. It can be served with hot sauce, Chili noodles, coriander (coriander) and broken ears, which makes people want to stop. I remember I had a little pocket money when I was in primary school. I often buy a small bag with my classmates after school, sometimes it seems that I can never eat enough.

"Old Milk Potato" is also a special dish in Yunnan. I know from the name that this kind of potato can be eaten by an old woman with a bad mouth. Cook until soft, then add ingredients and fry until golden brown, put them in a large bowl, compact them and buckle them on a plate. This is also a popular dish. In fact, it is similar to mashed potatoes abroad, but not to the extent of mud. The old milk potato in the picture is my first attempt before.
"Dry fried shredded potatoes" are very fragrant and crisp. They are shredded, pressed into cakes and then dry fried. When they are golden yellow, sprinkle with Chili noodles, put them on a plate and divide them into pieces like a cake, just like a "potato pizza". There is also a street snack similar to dry-fried shredded potatoes, but it is fried. It's called "Potato Baba", which is to fry the shredded potato paste along a big spoon, fry it until golden brown, and then take it off in the shape of a spoon. Sprinkle seasoning on it so that children can enjoy it bite by bite.

In fact, the baked potato in Yunnan is similar to the jacket potato, but the difference is that the baked potato in Yunnan is coated with hot sauce and Chili noodles instead of beans.
"Cold shredded potatoes" is also very addictive. The shredded potatoes are cooked, bathed in cold water, and cold, which is really a good companion in summer.
"Copper pot potato stew rice" is the standard of Jiangchuan copper pot fish. Almost every time I eat copper pot fish, I will order a pot of copper pot potato stew rice, which is the case at almost every table in the restaurant. Potatoes, diced ham and rice are stewed together in a copper pot, and the fragrance will float out at the moment of opening. When adding rice, the bottom of the pot will be turned over intentionally, because the side where potatoes and rice stick to the pot will become a very fragrant crispy rice.

In fact, there are various ways to make potatoes, such as shredded potatoes with green peppers, pickled potato chips, sour bamboo shoots and potato soup ... almost everything can be matched.
I always feel that Yunnan is a very rustic place, but it is often a very literary place. Things in many places are earthy and have a strong national style; It is these native things that are very special, unusual and artistic, attracting people all over the world. Just like the most common potato can become so special in Yunnan, there are various ways to make it not boring. Even if you eat potatoes every day, you won't think it is a "dark dish".
I suddenly wanted to write this article, only to find that I only took a few photos after writing the text, and the rest were quoted online. What a shame. It also gave me a small task. I hope I can take some Yunnan dishes myself and record a lot of photos myself, but I haven't recorded the most familiar things. That's a real pity.
