Soak your potatoes in chicken or beef stock and add soy sauce and peanut oil and start a Chinese stir fry.
1 lb. potatoes - sliced thin 1 Tbs. light soy sauce 1 tsp. brown sugar 1 tsp. flour 3 Tbs. peanut oil - divided 1 C. chicken or beef stock 1 tsp. sugar 1/4 tsp. salt
In a bowl, combine potatoes, brown sugar, soy sauce, flour, and 1 Tbs. of the peanut oil. Stir to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Heat remaining peanut oil in a wok over high heat. Add potato mixture and stir-fry lightly for 2-3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to wok, cover, reduce heat, and cook until the potatoes are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
