[Methods and steps]
1. Prepare two yellow-skinned potatoes. After frying, they will become tender and suitable for making shredded potatoes. Wash the potatoes with water and peel them with a peeler. Next, use a knife to cut a small piece on one side of the potato, then place that side toward the cutting board so it doesn't slip when cutting.
We need to slice the potatoes first, then lay them out and cut them into thin strips with a knife. Here, it’s best to cut with a kitchen knife. If you use shredded potatoes to cut them, they won't taste good. Put the cut potato shreds into the pot, then pour in water and wash again. After washing, pour out the water, then pour in water again to soak the potato shreds. By the way, add a few drops of white vinegar into the water to make the fried potatoes crispier.
2. Wash the green and red peppers, cut the green peppers and remove the seeds. Some of the white gluten has also been removed, making it less spicy. Then cut the green pepper into shreds and place on a plate for later use. Prepare a small amount of red pepper, cut into strips and place on another plate to adjust the color. Cut a small amount of green onion, pat a few cloves of garlic, and put the green onion and red pepper on the same plate and set aside.
3. At this time, the soaked potato shreds are almost ready, and we drain the water. Put the shredded potatoes into the pot. Prepare a pot, add more oil and bring to a boil. At this time, turn up the heat and observe the oil in the pot. When the oil starts to smoke, we can turn off the heat. Then shake the pot to evenly distribute the hot oil in the pot. This process is called pan sliding, and the purpose is to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
When the pot sliding is completed, we will prepare a simple method to pour the hot oil in the pot into the container. Then put the pot on the gas stove, pour in a small amount of cold oil, and bring the oil to a boil. At this time, turn on a small fire. When the oil temperature is almost 30, we will pour a small amount of pepper into the pot and fry. The fried oil will have a chili flavor. After the color changes after frying, we will use a slotted spoon to remove the pepper from the pot.
4. Pour the just prepared shredded red pepper, shredded green onion, and minced garlic into the pot and stir-fry. After frying twice, we pour the dried potatoes into the pot. At this point, turn up the heat and stir-fry. Stir fry quickly so the potatoes are evenly cooked and crispy.
5. After frying for several times, we observed the shredded potatoes in the pot. If it becomes translucent, it means the shredded potatoes are almost cooked. At this time, pour a small amount of white vinegar to taste. Then continue to fry and add an appropriate amount of sugar to the pot to neutralize the sour taste of the vinegar. Then when the pot is almost cooked, add an appropriate amount of edible salt, stir-fry twice, and turn off the heat. In this way, a plate of crispy and delicious green pepper and potato shreds is prepared. When the potato shreds are crystal clear, you will be appetizing.
