I live with someone who lived >40 years in Shanghai before moving to the US, they'll throw potatoes (cut, like into quarters for a small one) into any braised dish to absorb some of the liquid and soften up. Ends up kind of the same texture as in a Western stew, but with some actual salt. Otherwise, just cut into match sticks and stir fried with peppers.
Once they start coming out though I'm gonna be so happy. So many American/Euro recipes for potatoes just cram a shitload of cheese and butter into them and call it a day. Chinese food doesn't usually have dairy in it so these recipes could be fantastic
Dope, I'll check it out. From a brief glance it looks like I've already come close to accidentally cooking it before but I included some peanut butter and other minor changes and it was fantastic
There aren't enough Chinese dishes with potato

You should check out Gamja jorim (it's Korean) - it's fried potatoes braised in soy/sesame sauce and they are just :chefs-kiss:
damn that sounds delicious
Oh it it - they serve it cold at Korean restaurants and the texture is really kinda awesome (like firm, but not crunchy or anything)
