ASIAN POTATO DISH RECIPES

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, cool, and chop into bite-size chunks.
• To make the dressing, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, mustard powder, and salt.
• Combine the potatoes, bacon, bok choy, red pepper, green onion and cilantro in a large bowl. Pour over dressing and mix well. Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to blend, and serve.

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, and dice into 1-inch cubes.
• Boil potatoes in water for 10 minutes or until done. Drain water.
• Mash potatoes briefly with a hand masher--there should still be a lot of large lumps.
• Heat empty wok over highest heat until you can see heat rise from the surface.
• Add peanut oil and swirl in wok for a moment until heated.
• Add garlic cloves and chilies and toss in oil for a moment until fragrant. If the garlic starts to brown before you get the other ingredients added, move off heat for a moment.
• Add green onions, fennel, chili paste, and salt and stir-fry for a moment until ingredients are fully combined and green onion is wilted. (The fennel of Yunnan has only leafy green parts, no bulb, so it resembles dillweed.).
• Add potatoes, stir-fry until ingredients are thoroughly combined and potatoes are heated through.
• Serves 4 as part of a Chinese meal (a couple of meat dishes, a green vegetable, lao nai potatoes, a soup, and white rice).
