red (or 1 large russet potato) (8 to 10 ounces)

1/8

teaspoon

salt

1

teaspoon

toasted sesame oil

Procedure

Peel and shred the potato into a sieve.

Rinse shredded potato in cold water, drain, and press out excess water.

Transfer to a mixing bowl, add salt and mix well.

Coat a pan with oil and heat over medium heat.

Add potato and stir fry about two to five minutes (until potato is just beginning to go limp, but not browned – similar to “al dente” for pasta).

Remove from heat and cool.

Note: Be careful not to overcook the potato – the shreds should be only slightly limp
