However, mashed potatoes are made in different ways. I peeled the potatoes first and then cooked them thoroughly. Because the porridge was cooked thoroughly, I could press the potatoes into mud with a big bowl and an iron spoon, and it was basically finished. Then I put the oil in the wok (because mashed potatoes absorb more oil). When the oil is about 50% hot, I can put some ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell, then put the dried Chili (you don't need to put it if you don't like spicy food), and finally put the potatoes.
In fact, the potato cake also has a name called "dry fried potato shreds", that is, the potatoes are washed and shredded first (without soaking in water), and the oil is put in the pot. The smell of ginger and garlic is the same as above. When the oil is hot enough, put the shredded potatoes into the pot, stir-fry for about two minutes with high fire, then put the shredded potatoes in the pot with a spatula and fry slowly. The fire will be smaller at this time.
Shredded potatoes and diced potatoes are very common, so I won't talk about it. I hope I can help you.
