醋炒马铃薯和肉丝

I first tasted this dish which my mother-in-law cooked sometimes back. Initially I does not realised is potato as the texture is still full of crunch after cooking! I did not ask her the proportion of the seasoning, I just adjust the taste while I stir-fry this dish :D But one tip I got from her is to rinse the grated potatoes several time till the water runs clear. This will remove the excess starch and will not cause the potato to be mushy after cooking.

Before adding in the chilli padi, I dish up one portion for my boy! :D

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp ginger, grated

3. Peel potatoes & grate coarsely over the pan of water.
   
4. Drain away liquid. Rinse grated potatoes 3-4 times till water runs clear. Place grated potatoes over a sieve and let it drain dry.
