Sliced potatoes are stir-fried with ground meat and savory and slightly sweet sauce is a super easy dish to prepare and it's tasty and a budget-friendly meal.
Peel the skin and rinse the potatoes with water. Slice the potatoes into about 1/4-inch (about 0.5 cm) in thickness. Try to cut them into the same thickness as much as possible so they cook at the same time. You can also use a mandoline slicer if you have one
Soak the potatoes in water while you are preparing other things so the potatoes won't get oxidized and turned black. When ready to cook, discard the water
Cooking:
Preheat wok or large skillet over high heat. Add cooking oil. Add diced onion and stir fry until they are aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add ground meat and continue to stir fry until they turn color, but not cooked through yet. Add potato slices, seasonings, and water. Stir to mix and then cover with a lid to let the potato slices are soft but not mushy. The liquid will slightly reduce too. Have a taste and adjust taste to your liking. It should be savory with a hint of sweetness
Thicken the sauce:
Give the cornstarch that you mixed with water a stir and then pour it in and stir until the sauce thickens
Garnish:
Remove from the heat and garnish with some chopped green onion. Serve immediately with rice
Notes
If you don't have kecap manis, you can use 1 Tbsp of soy sauce + 2 Tbsp of brown sugar (or more if you want it a bit sweeter)
