Prep Tips
Peel and rinse; keep slices in lightly acidulated water (a splash of vinegar) to prevent browning.
For extra crunch, blanch 30–60 seconds before stir‑frying; for stews, cut thicker half‑moons.
Slice crosswise for the classic "snowflake" look; use a mandoline for even, thin chips.
Season towards the end to preserve crisp texture; finish with a dash of black vinegar for brightness.
