1

Slice the bottom off the potato to make it flat and stable.

2

Cut the potato into thin strips, about the thickness of spaghetti noodles.

3

Place the cut potato strips into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

4

Boil water in a medium-sized pan, filling it halfway or two-thirds full.

5

Once the water is boiling, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.

6

Add the potato strips to the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.

7

Turn off the heat and transfer the potato strips to a bowl of cold water to cool them down gently, ensuring they maintain their shape.

8

Grate the blanched garlic using a microplane and add it to the mixing bowl.

9

Add black pepper and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

10

Pour in less than 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and mix to create a seasoning sauce.

11

Gently toss the cooled potato sticks in the seasoning sauce, being careful not to break them.

12

Taste the mixture and adjust salt to preference, adding more if desired.

13

Optionally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
