These dainty potato baskets are made with potato straw and filled with a crunchy mixture of stir-fried bean sprouts and capsicum. Selecting the right kind of potatoes is the most vital step in making these baskets. Use a variety of potato that is used to make wafers. Some vendors even call them "Old Potatoes". This variety of potato has more starch which results in crisper baskets and these potatoes do not even brown easily. Old tea strainers which are made of metal can be used to make these baskets. You can make these baskets a day or so in advance and store them in an air-tight container.
