The price of vegetables in the vegetable market has been rising these days, only the root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and tomatoes have risen a little. In winter, a season when ingredients are scarce, they have become a veritable main force. Potatoes, in particular, are frequent visitors to the table of our people all year round. Hot and sour potato chips, green pepper potato chips, baked potato chips and so on have all become classic dishes.
Don't look at this small potato, it has great nutritional value. Westerners have regarded it as a staple food and given it the reputation of "second bread". The Ministry of Agriculture of China has also issued "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Development of Potato Industry", which takes potato as the staple food for industrial development, which means that potato will gradually become the fourth staple food in China after rice, wheat and corn. In fact, there has long been a folk saying that "potatoes and beans are half-year grain". In difficult times, potatoes and other potatoes have long been eaten by people. Potatoes are also high-potassium and low-sodium foods with extremely low fat content, enjoying the reputation of "underground apples".

operation sequence/order
The first step is to steam potatoes, prepare a medium-sized potato, wash and peel it, cut it into thin slices, put it in a steamer, steam it for about 10 minutes, and insert it easily with chopsticks.
Step 2: Knead the dough, then take it out to cool, press it into mashed potatoes with a spoon, then add 1 tablespoon salt, 3 tablespoons flour and an egg, stir well, knead it into smooth dough, then roll it out and cut it into rectangular blocks.
Step 3: Knead into small dosage forms. Knead the dough into a long strip, and stick the two ends tightly together to form a small dosage form with a bigger tip between the two ends, and put it on clean gauze for later use. Because it is rolled up and then rounded, there is a gap in the middle, and it tastes fluffy and firm.
Step 4: Boil: Boil water in a pot, add a small amount of water, boil it with strong fire, then order clear water twice, then simmer for a while until the small amount floats, and take it out for later use. Because it is hollow inside, this small dose looks quite large and will be cooked soon.
Step 5: Boil the juice, heat it in another pan, add 1 tablespoon lard, after the lard melts, add 1 tablespoon beef sauce and chopped green onion, stir-fry until fragrant, add 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, finally add boiling water, and then add the cooked small dose. Remember, add boiling water here, or it will explode.
Step six, get out of the pot. The potato flour bumps made in this way are particularly delicious. After adding lard and beef sauce, it has the fresh flavor of meat and the unique flavor of chopped green onion. It's catchy but not sticky, and the whole family loves it.
Step seven, finished product. This dish is the staple food of westerners. Its vitamin C content is higher than that of apples, its fat is low and full, and it tastes best when cooked.
