My husband had this dish on a recent trip to China and came home raving about how delicious it was. It is super spicy, tangy, simple, and oh-so tasty.

⅔ pound waxy potatoes
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoons dried crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon black rice vinegar (such as Chinkiang)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pinch flaked salt
