When it comes to potatoes (also commonly known as potatoes), who doesn't love them? For me, a heavy potato lover, you can eat hundreds of tricks such as frying, frying, frying, boiling, roasting, mixing, etc., but most of the time we just use it as a snack.
Recently came to the Liangshan area, only to find that the locals love to eat potatoes to the bone marrow, staple snacks can not be separated from potatoes. How much love is there? A local told me that they grew up snacking potatoes, almost all of them were in the morning, afternoon and dinner, and sometimes four or five people could eat ten pounds of potatoes at night (I was shocked..... ）。

Walking in the local streets, various potato food stalls can be seen everywhere, and the fire-fired potato is one of the most common ways for Liangshan Yi people to eat. All they need is a brazier and a small stool to start the day. There are two ways to eat roasted potatoes, one is to cook and eat directly, the aroma is strong, the sand is crisp and soft, and the original flavor is full; the other is to cut the potatoes from it, sandwich with cold mix and fold the ear roots, and the delicious burgers of the potato world are born instantly. The sour and spicy folded ear root is mixed with the fragrant soft potato, and the taste is more crisp and refreshing.

There is also a kind of fried potato cake that also has a different flavor, but unfortunately it is a mobile stall, and it is all lucky to encounter it. The potatoes are first cut into strips and mixed with starch into the model, and fried on both sides to a golden and attractive, crispy and fragrant. Personally, in terms of selling phases and tastes, potato cake is an upgraded version of the burning potato! Can you imagine such a delicacy for only 3 yuan a piece? Absolute childlike innocence, you can't buy a loss or buy a deception

Here the high slopes are steep, it is relatively difficult to grow rice, in addition to corn, soybeans, wheat main crops, potatoes are the most selective crops, coupled with climatic characteristics, potatoes are the most productive. Second, as a major local crop, potatoes are more economical and cheap than rice as a daily staple food. As a result, potatoes have become an indispensable eating habit for locals over time. Not only the Liangshan area, but also the mountainous areas such as Yunnan and Gansu in China also have the habit of eating potatoes.
