Potato Salad Recipe

Introduction to Potato Salad Recipes:

The potato is one kind of vegetable that both the Eastern and the Western styles of cooking favor. It can be made into a variety of dishes and desserts, salads or cooked dishes. It can be sliced, cut into strips, diced or even steamed as a whole. This list can go on and on.

On this site, I will introduce some family dishes made of potatoes. The potato salad recipe below is the first one of them. They are easy and only takes minutes to make.

Ingredients:

Potato: 500 g

Seasonings:

Scallion: 10 g

Ginger: 10 g

Salt: 6 g

Vinegar: 15 g

Chili oil: 10 g

Cooking Steps:

1. Cut the scallion into strips.

2. Cut the ginger into strips.

3. Peel and cut the potatoes into strips.

4. Boil some water in the pot.

5. Immerse the potato strips into the hot water until they become edible (100% done, nothing more or less).

6. Filter the hot water away and cover them with cool water.

7. Then filter the cool water away and put the potato strips on a basin or big bowel where it is easy to stir.

8. Add the scallion strips, salt, vinegar, chili oil and ginger strips into the basin or the bowel.

9. Stir the seasonings and the potato strips together fully.

Tips for this potato salad recipe:

1. The picture above was taken before they were blended. You can come up with the same effect when you do as instructed above.

2. It takes time and patience to cut the potatoes into fine strips. You are supposed to slice the potato first. The thinner the slices are, the better it would be. Then you are supposed to arrange the slices together and cut along the cross-section. You may come up with very thick and uneven potato strips. However, when you do it up to three times, you will find out that you can do it very well.

If you find that cutting potatoes into strips is not something you would buy into. Then there are some utensils that you can use, such as the grater (e.g.Microplane Fine Grater).

However, I don’t like that for two reasons. The first reason is that it is not easy to use. The surface of the peeled potato is smooth and difficult to hold onto. When I am sliding the potato on the surface of the grater, the potato is easy to slide off my hand, and my hand is subject to injury. The other reason is that the edges of the potato strips are tooth-shaped, not smooth and not good looking. Of course, you can try for yourself before making up you mind about what to do.

I like the feeling when people make inquiries and compliments about my cutting techniques when it comes to the fine strips.
