A quick and easy comfort food recipe featuring crispy, spicy shredded potato noodles with a perfect balance of crunch and heat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (can substitute canola or peanut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 to 1.5 teaspoons chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (sea salt preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: fresh lemon juice or soy sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and shred 3 medium russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor, aiming for long thin strands.
  2. Place shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out as much moisture as possible (expect about ¼ cup of water).
  3. Toss dried potato strands in a large bowl with garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili flakes, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (around 350°F).
  5. Add the seasoned potato strands to the skillet, pressing down gently to form a loose, thin layer. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, flipping carefully with a spatula or tongs. Fry in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Transfer crispy noodles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Garnish with chopped green onions and optionally a squeeze of lemon juice or splash of soy sauce.

Notes

Make sure to thoroughly dry the shredded potatoes to achieve maximum crispiness. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Use medium-high heat and press gently when frying. Reheat leftovers in a hot skillet to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
