Potatoes are always an excellent side dish. They’re easy to prepare, affordable, and they can be made in countless ways. They’re also nutritious, providing you with a well-rounded way to add more vitamins and minerals to your meal. Sauteed potatoes make a great go-to side dish. But with these Chinese sauteed potatoes, you’re going to love the exotic twist on your favorite breakfast side dish classic.
Ingredients
These sauteed potatoes, or as I like to call them – cumin chili home fries – are flavored with rich aromatics, cumin, and chili to give them a little kick. This homestyle dish is popular in China as a side dish, but I love to start my day with them as breakfast alongside sunny side-up eggs.
How to cook sauteed potato
The secret to getting these sauteed potatoes to have a crispy exterior and a tender interior is in taking the time to boil them, then pan fry them with the mixed spices. This side dish will disappear fast, whether you have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Another thing I love to do is drizzle a little chili oil to add another layer of spice. These sauteed potatoes are pretty irresistible already but I find that adding a little dash of chili oil makes them vanish even more quickly from the moment I set them on the table. It’s almost impossible to have leftovers with these sauteed potatoes. Try as we might to save some, they’re just too good to stop eating!
