It can also be said to be extremely rich. From the homemade cold skin to the rice cooker steamed cake, there are many stars involved. Originally, I am a person who loves food and cooking. I am the chef most of the time at home during the holidays, so I also became a member of the online cooking show.

As a Sichuanese, Sichuan snacks are of course indispensable in life. What I'm going to teach you today is the home version of a Sichuan snack - wolf tooth potatoes. The reason why it is said to be the home version is because what I am introducing today is my own practice, but there can be different practices according to different personal conditions. This snack is also a memory of my childhood, because after school when I was a child, there would always be a row of hawkers selling all kinds of snacks in front of the school. At that time, almost all students liked to buy wolf tooth potatoes to eat. I also No exception. Then I will teach you how to do it in detail!

First, wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into strips with a wave knife, soak them in water for a while, then remove and drain. This step is mainly to wash the starch in the potatoes and make the potatoes taste better!

While waiting for the potatoes to drain, boil a pot of boiling water and add a little salt to the boiling water. The purpose of adding salt is to give the potatoes a little flavor and also to facilitate frying later. After the water boils, pour the potatoes into the pot and blanch the water, cut off the raw potatoes, they can be taken out in about a minute and a half, and drain the water after taking out, because the next step is to fry them in oil, there is water It's more dangerous. The time in boiling water should not be too long, if it is too long, it will affect the taste of the potatoes, and the potatoes will become very soft.

While waiting for the boiled potatoes to drain, start the pot and heat the oil well, because it is the oil used for frying potatoes, so you need a little more oil, and try to use a smaller pot, so as not to waste too much oil. When the oil is 70% hot, put the drained potatoes in and fry them. After about two or three minutes, the pan will be enough to cook. When frying, flip it from time to time, and make sure that the oil temperature is not too high, to avoid frying the potatoes or frying them too hard, which will affect the taste of the potatoes. Be careful during this step to avoid being scalded by the hot oil.

After the fried potatoes are taken out, put them directly into a slightly larger bowl. The rim of the bowl must be high, so that it can be used for stirring later. Do not turn off the oil fire after removing the potatoes, turn the oil fire to minimum, and keep the oil warm. Begin to prepare the seasoning for wolf tooth potatoes, here I will write down the required materials, but everyone will add the amount according to the amount of potatoes when you make them yourself. The required materials are onion, garlic, chili noodles (Liupo brand), cumin powder, sesame oil, salt, pepper powder, white sugar, and vinegar. (Optional to add Houttuynia cordata according to taste) Add an appropriate amount of the prepared ingredients to the bowl containing the fried potatoes, be sure to spread them evenly on the potatoes, and then pour a little of the hot oil that has been kept warm just now. In terms of ingredients, all the flavors of all the seasonings are stimulated by the hot oil, then stir evenly and put on a plate, so that a family version of wolf tooth potatoes is ready!

The above is the method of wolf tooth potatoes. If you are also bored at home because of the epidemic, or you want to try Sichuan snacks, you can make such a dish at home! The above practices are all my personal practices, and you can use them as a reference when you do them!
