Chinese Potatoes Chips

Chinese Arrowhead is known as Chinese potatoes or Chi Gu. This can be served as a snack or side dish during Chinese New Year. Usually, we can only purchase Chinese arrowheads during the Chinese New Year period. Surprisingly, I found that one of the stalls in the wet market is selling them now. Bought some and decided to make chips, and it tasted lovely, although too much deep-fried food is no good. But once in a while, a little of it should be fine and homemade chips without any salt are still better. I should have sliced it even thinner and it will absorb less oil and more crispy.

Preparation: 10 mins, Cooking time: 10 mins

Ingredients (serves 2)
° 6 Chinese arrowheads, peeled, thinly sliced and pat dry
° oil, for deep-frying

Method
1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or wok. Place the Chinese arrowhead in and then fry until golden brown. Drain well on kitchen paper and set aside.
2. Serve immediately.
