Caramelized Potato

Method6 steps

1. 1

   Prep the Ingredients

   食材预处理

   Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform small pieces. Toss with starch (no water) until the starch coats the surface of the potatoes.

   土豆去皮，切均匀的小块。放入淀粉（不加水）搅拌，使得淀粉覆盖土豆表面

   ⏱5 min

   • 💡 Keep the potato pieces the same size to ensure even cooking.土豆块大小要一致以保证受热均匀
   • 💡 Coating with starch without water makes the fried texture crispier.不加水裹粉是为了炸出来的口感更酥脆
   
2. 2

   Deep-Fry the Potatoes

   油炸土豆

   Heat oil in a wok, add the potato pieces, and gently turn them while frying for 5-7 minutes, until a chopstick can easily pierce through the potatoes.

   起锅烧油，放入土豆块，缓缓翻滚煎炸 5-7 分钟 ，直至筷子可以插进土豆

   ⏱7 min

   • 💡 Do not use oil that is too hot to avoid burning the outside while the inside remains raw.油温不宜过高，防止外焦内生
   • 💡 Turn gently to avoid the starch coating falling off.轻轻翻动避免淀粉层脱落

   • 💡 This is the most critical step; use low heat and simmer slowly.这是最关键的一步，需小火慢熬
   • 💡 Stop when the color turns amber or light brown to avoid overcooking and bitterness.颜色变为琥珀色或浅褐色即可，避免过头变苦
