Hi, this is the recipe I’ve been searching for. My bi racial daughter asked for potato salad. I did the creamy/mayo version.

We tried a similar recipe with black vinegar – also a “no”.

Other recipes say to stir fry, but I’ve always been hesitant, as you can’t control some shreds cooking more than the other.

Seasonings will be tested soon, but I know I’m off to the right start.

Sounds great. I first heard this potato salad on NPR’s radio show Mill Street. They kept same ingredients but added white
scallions. The oil is poured over the scallions, soften them just enough to bring flavor. I have not tried that recipe or this one. I do look forward to having this recipe cooked by one of my favorite recipes.

Yummy! I fried the garlic in the oil at the same time as the peppers.

OMG, i just made this recipe, and both my husband and I are raving about this! We’re Swedes. and as such we eat A LOT of potatoes. But we’ve never tried them like this. Only goes to show that the Chinese cuisine is superior! I was a bit sceptical to blanching the potatoes quickly, as we Swedes usually boil them to death, but oh my, this is a new favorite. My husband, who is not only crazy about potatoes, but also about Chinese food in general, asked to get a bowl of this as a ”writing snack” in front the computer. He’s munching away atm! This is also great since we’ve become vegetarians for climate reasons, and we need all veggie recipes we can lay our hands on. I’m so grateful for this recipe, thanks a lot!

Is there a way to make this ahead of time, say for a dinner party? Perhaps make it the night before?

Hi Lydia, The boiling time is really short. I don’t remember exactly how long, but it should be a minute or so. The best way is to taste the potatoes and let it cook to the texture you like.
You need plenty of garlic, about 4 to 5 cloves. Sichuan peppercorns work the best. If you don’t have any, you can try to use black pepper instead.
Happy cooking and let me know how the dish turns out 🙂

This looks really nice (: Just a few questions; about how long does it take to boil the potatoes, about how many garlic cloves did it use and would it still be fine if I used normal peppercorns? Looking forward to making this recipe (:

In reply to Chieko. Hi Chieko, I'm glad to hear you like this recipe! If you are planning to roast the garlic, make sure to roast it in the rice bran oil you'll drizzle on the salad. It will infuse the oil a nice garlicky flavor. Yep, a bit of rice vinegar sounds lovely. I like the idea :) Happy cooking and let me know how the dish turns out!
