    Chinese Spicy Sour Potatoes

    Chinese Spicy Sour Potatoes. A delicious vegan shredded potato dish with a spicy, salty, vinegar flavour. It's easy to make and great as a side dish.

    I recently came across this dish in wanting to share an Asian inspired potato dish. As such, I was so intrigued by the flavour profile and thought perhaps this tastes like salt and vinegar chips with a hit of spice. And to my delight, it did!

    My Chinese hot and sour potatoes comes together in 30 minutes and doesn't require too many ingredients that you would have to trek out and find.

    Chinese Spicy Sour Potatoes

    In the traditional Chinese spicy and sour potatoes, they use Sichuan peppercorns and black vinegar.

    However, I omitted this from the recipe as it's spicy enough with the red chillies and I used normal vinegar so it's not truly authentic to its origin. But hey, it's accessible and it introduces you to a new Asian potato dish that I bet you've never heard of unless you live or travel frequently to China. This was my first time hearing about it!

    I can't take all the credit for this recipe, I have adapted it from China Sichuan Food and here is their original recipe.

    What does it taste like?

    As I mentioned above, these Chinese spicy sour potatoes taste like a spicy version of salt and vinegar chips. If you can't tolerate spice, I would suggest removing the chillis completely.

      What a tasty idea! I bet the red chili really took these potatoes to a whole new level. My favorite sauce is sriracha, so I'd definitely love to try this flavorful chili-spiced dish!
