When the hot summer comes, there is nothing like a plate of fresh and delicious shredded potatoes with cold sauce to relieve the summer heat. It is not a simple matter to make delicious, crisp and delicious cold shredded potatoes. You need to master some tips to get twice the result with half the effort.

Selection of ingredients is the key.

Choosing the right potato is very important. It is suggested to choose a potato with heavy powder, because this kind of potato has less water, high starch content and more crisp taste. When choosing, choose potatoes with smooth skin and no damage.

Fine knife, crisp achievement.

Shredding potatoes is also a technical job. If you want to make crisp and tender shredded potatoes, you should pay attention to the fineness of knife work. Sharp blade is the key, and the shredded potatoes cut by blunt knife are easy to break, which affects the taste. When cutting, it should be as thin and even as possible, so as to ensure that the shredded potatoes can absorb the flavor of the seasoning and keep the crisp taste.

Blanching, desilting and anti-sticking

Cut shredded potatoes should not be seasoned directly, but need to be blanched. This can not only remove starch from potatoes, but also prevent shredded potatoes from sticking, and help keep them crisp. The blanching time should not be too long. Generally, it can be taken out in 30-40 seconds and drained for later use.

Pay attention to seasoning, sweet and sour and salty.

The soul of cold shredded potatoes lies in the collocation of seasonings. Generally speaking, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and other seasonings are needed. The sour taste of vinegar can stimulate the savory taste of shredded potatoes, the salty taste of soy sauce plays a role in refreshing, and the aroma of sesame oil can enhance the layering of shredded potatoes. The addition of white sugar can synthesize sour taste and make the taste more balanced.

Slow fire, even taste.

When the seasoning is ready, it can be seasoned. It is suggested that slow fire be used for seasoning, so that the seasoning can fully penetrate into the shredded potatoes and make them taste evenly. When seasoning, don't add too much seasoning at one time. You can add a small amount of seasoning several times and taste it while adjusting it until you reach your satisfactory taste.

The finishing touch adds fragrance and flavor.

After seasoning, you can add some ingredients according to your own preferences, such as coriander, pepper, chopped green onion, etc. These ingredients can not only enrich the taste of shredded potatoes, but also enhance their aroma, making cold shredded potatoes more delicious.
