Instructions

Notes
- Parboiling potatoes beforehand ensures they cook evenly and prevent becoming mushy during stir-frying.
- Choose waxy potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture and holding shape during cooking.
- For a lower-fat version, swap ground pork or beef with ground turkey or chicken and use a lean meat option.
- When stir-frying, keep ingredients moving constantly in the wok to prevent burning and achieve uniform golden color and crisp edges.
