2. Peel and finely chop the onion.

3. Peel and dice the potato into small cubes.

4. Finely chop the garlic cloves.

5. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

6. Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

7. Add the sliced courgettes and diced potato to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
