- 60 ml (¼ cup) grapeseed or canola oil

Instructions
Wash potatoes and drain thoroughly. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, add oil and potatoes. Cook, turning gently and often for 7-8 minutes, or until the potatoes start to soften. Potatoes should be cooked gently to retain pale colour.
Add sliced brown onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they softened, but still retaining their shape and pale colour, taking care not to brown. Season to taste.
Add the green onions, chilli (optional) and ground white pepper and toss. Turn off the heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Note
• Garmja bokkum can be served hot or at room temperature. If making larger amounts julienned potatoes can be blanched first in salted water and then gently sautéed to prevent browning due to excess starch.
