Chinese Stir-Fried Potato with Onion Slices

 Introduction

Stir-fried potato with onion slices is a simple yet flavorful Chinese homestyle dish. The tender potatoes absorb the savory seasonings, while the onions add natural sweetness and aroma. This dish is quick to prepare and pairs perfectly with rice for a comforting meal.


Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

  • 2 medium potatoes (about 300g), peeled and sliced thinly

  • 1 medium onion, sliced into strips

  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced

  • 1 green chili or bell pepper (optional), sliced

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

  • ½ tablespoon dark soy sauce (for color, optional)

  • ½ teaspoon sugar

  • Salt, to taste

  • White pepper powder, to taste

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for fragrance)

  • Chopped scallions, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the potatoes

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices (about 2–3 mm).

  2. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch.

  3. Soak them for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2 – Prepare the onion and aromatics

  1. Slice the onion into thin strips.

  2. Slice garlic cloves and optional chili or bell pepper. Set aside.

Step 3 – Stir-fry the potatoes

  1. Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil.

  2. Add garlic and stir-fry until fragrant.

  3. Add potato slices and stir-fry for about 2–3 minutes until they start to soften but remain slightly crisp.

Step 4 – Add onions and seasonings

  1. Add sliced onions (and chili/bell pepper if using). Stir-fry together for another 2–3 minutes.

  2. Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until potatoes and onions are evenly coated.

Step 5 – Finish and serve

  1. Drizzle sesame oil for extra aroma.

  2. Stir everything well and cook for another 1–2 minutes until potatoes are tender and onions are slightly caramelized.

  3. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with chopped scallions, and serve hot with steamed rice.

Tips for Best Results:

  • Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook uniformly.

  • Do not overcook; the potatoes should be tender yet still hold their shape.

  • You can add a splash of vinegar for a tangy version, or chili bean paste (Doubanjiang) for a spicier flavor.
