Stir-Fried Potatoes with Vinegar and Hot Peppers
Potatoes are a relatively new staple crop in the Szechuan region. Cut the potatoes for this stir-fry into threads, and sauté just a few minutes so they're still a bit crunchy. Waxy white potatoes stay firm and hold their shape when cooked. Use a mandoline or food processor fitted with a julienne blade to quickly cut the potatoes.
