步骤 (Steps)
1. Shred and Soak the Potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin, even shreds.
Soak the shredded potatoes in cold water for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch.
(将土豆去皮，切成细丝，放入冷水中浸泡10-15分钟去淀粉。)
Example: “Soaking keeps the potatoes crisp instead of sticky when fried.”
2. Drain and Dry
Rinse the shredded potatoes again and drain well. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
(再次冲洗土豆丝后沥干水分，用纸巾吸干。)
Example: “Dry potatoes stir-fry better — that's how you get that signature crunch!”
3. Heat the Oil
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok over medium-high heat.
Add the Sichuan peppercorns (optional) and dried chili peppers.
Fry briefly until fragrant, then remove the peppercorns if you prefer a cleaner taste.
(锅中加油，中大火加热，放入花椒和干辣椒炒香，喜欢清爽口感可捞出花椒。)
Example: “You'll smell that spicy aroma — that's the beginning of the flavor explosion!”

4. Stir-fry the Potatoes
Add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry quickly for 2–3 minutes.
Add minced garlic, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. Continue stirring until evenly mixed.
(加入土豆丝快速翻炒2-3分钟，再加蒜末、盐、生抽和醋，翻炒均匀。)
Example: “The trick is to keep the heat high and the movement fast — no mushy potatoes allowed!”
5. Finish and Serve
When the potatoes are slightly soft but still crisp, turn off the heat.
Sprinkle with green onions or cilantro before serving.
(当土豆丝变得柔中带脆时关火，撒上葱花或香菜装饰。)
Example: “Crisp, tangy, and spicy — this dish wakes up your appetite instantly!”

小贴士 (Tips)
Add vinegar near the end to keep the potatoes bright and crunchy.
If you like more heat, use chili oil instead of plain oil.
For a milder version, skip the chili and just keep the vinegar and garlic — it's still amazing!
(醋要最后加，这样土豆丝颜色更亮更脆;喜欢辣的可用辣椒油;不吃辣可去掉辣椒，只留酸味和蒜香也很棒。)
结语 (Wrap-up)
Congratulations — you've just made Hot and Sour Shredded Potatoes, one of China's most beloved side dishes! 🥔🔥
