Stir-frying potatoes
Place a pan on the stove, add 1 spoon of cooking oil and heat it, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Wait for the garlic to release its aroma, reduce the heat, then add the prepared potatoes and stir continuously for about 2 minutes to coat the potatoes evenly with oil, preventing them from burning.
Add 1 teaspoon of seasoning and 1 teaspoon of salt to the pan, and continue to stir to allow the seasonings to absorb into the potatoes.
To help the potatoes cook faster, add 100ml of water that has been prepared into the pan so that the water level covers the surface of the potatoes. Cover with a lid, and cook the potatoes on low heat for about 10 – 15 minutes until they are cooked.
When the water in the pan has evaporated, add the green onions and stir briefly until the green onions are cooked and fragrant, then turn off the heat and plate the potatoes.
Tip: This process needs to be done gently to avoid mashing the potatoes.

How to choose fresh and delicious potatoes
- You should buy potatoes that have smooth, intact skin, without spots, worms, or many dark bruises on the outside. Avoid buying potatoes with wrinkled or scratched skin, as these will spoil easily if not consumed immediately.
- Avoid selecting potatoes with deep dents to make the preparation process before cooking cleaner, quicker, and easier.
- Especially, do not buy potatoes that have sprouted, as they can cause poisoning if consumed.

How to prepare potatoes without itching
- The first and most effective method is to use gloves when peeling potatoes; this will minimize the contact of potato sap with your hands.
- Additionally, you can lightly roast the potatoes on the stove to slightly dry the skin, which also helps reduce the sap from leaking out.
- Moreover, keeping the potato tubers dry will also limit the spread of potato sap and reduce itching.
How to peel potatoes without browning
- After peeling the potatoes, you should immediately soak them in a bowl of cold water or water mixed with a little salt. However, with this method, you should cook them right away; otherwise, the potatoes will lose their flavor and become bland.
- You can also soak the peeled potatoes in cold water mixed with a little vinegar. This method significantly reduces the formation of black spots.
- For potatoes that have already browned, you can briefly boil them with a little fresh milk. This method can eliminate the formed black spots and give the potatoes a fragrant milk aroma.
