Cooking tips:

It’s really weird to see that the shapes of the potato matters as far as the taste of the dish is concerned.  I mean that with the same ingredient and the same cooking method, potato shreds taste different than potato slices.

And during the cooking process, you will find that the potato slices are easy to stick to the bottom of the wok.

And the slices of potatoes can be soft and very easily, which means that it is a relatively easy to break them into pieces.  So the stirring chopsticks or spoons and should not go quickly.

However, if you go very slowly, the would stick to the bottom of the wok.  With some practice, you will know how to do that effectively.
