Needed a quick cook to finish off some potatoes before they went bad. Decided to google Asian potatoes and this came up. I’m very pleasantly surprised. Did about 2 pounds of potato’s and kept the cornstarch mixture about the same. Came out excellent. I think next time I might add some ginger and see how that goes.
