Step-by-Step Instructions
| Step | Instructions | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare all ingredients. Steam the peeled and quartered potatoes until soft. Avoid boiling to prevent sogginess. | 15 minutes |
| 2 | While potatoes steam, crush the instant noodles into small pieces by hand. Then, blend the noodle seasoning with the chili powder until fine. | 5 minutes |
| 3 | Combine the blended seasoning powder with the noodle powder. Set aside. Once potatoes are steamed, mash them while still hot until smooth. | 5 minutes |
| 4 | Mix the mashed potatoes thoroughly with the seasoning blend until the mixture is uniform. | 3 minutes |
| 5 | Place the mixture into the plastic bag and flatten it by hand to about 0.5 cm thickness, forming a rectangle. | 2 minutes |
| 6 | Cut the flattened dough into rectangular strips or your preferred shapes. | 2 minutes |
| 7 | Heat oil in a pan on medium heat until hot. Carefully fry the potato noodle pieces without overcrowding the pan. | 3-5 minutes |
| 8 | Fry until the bottom side is golden brown before flipping. Fry both sides until crispy and cooked through. | 5 minutes |
| 9 | Remove the crispy noodles from oil and drain on paper towels. Strain the oil if frying in batches for a cleaner taste. | Ongoing |
| 10 | Serve immediately with chili sauce and mayonnaise, garnished with chopped celery leaves if desired. | Ready to serve |
Serving Suggestion and Storage
Crispy Potato Noodles are best enjoyed fresh and hot, paired with dipping sauces like chili sauce and creamy mayonnaise. At Le Stanze Bistrot Cafe, we serve this dish as a crunchy appetizer that pairs perfectly with a refreshing beverage.
If you want to prepare them ahead, you can store the fried noodles in an airtight container for a few days, but keep in mind that they may lose some crispness over time. Reheat briefly in a hot pan or oven to restore crunch.
