    Amazing Sichuan style spicy potato salad with a dreaming hot sauce and sour sauce.

    Potato has been one of the most favorite food during the childhood. And it has been the most popular ingredient on Chinese table now. When I was still a little girl and we relied on potatoes, white radish and Chinese cabbage along the winter.Our favorite way is to shred it and make a quick shredded potato stir fry since it was the simplest method. Grown up, I have been tired of potatoes because I ate so many potatoes. After mastering  our family's kitchen, I suddenly fall in love with potatoes because there are so many yummy possibilities.  Now, I am so proud of this simple and amazing potato salad.

    This may seems to be quite simple and not appealing at all. But believe you will fall in love with it even in cold water because the sauce is super aromatic. Only with basic Chinese sauces, we can make the best potato salad, the Szechuan style, totally different from regular smashed potato one. Potato slices hold a crispy texture which works as great addition to the sauce.

    Cook's Note

    Soak the potato slices in clean water after sliced can prevent them getting dark, remove the extra starch and create a crisp texture after cooked.

      This dressing is so incredibly delicious and versatile, thank you!.Not only with potatoes but also PERFECT for roast chicken as well! I've tried it with black vinegar as well as red vinegar but red I think is my favourite, just lifts it a bit.
