Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves. If they are quite small, you can leave them whole.
Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Add a pinch of salt.
Add the halved baby potatoes to the boiling water and let them cook for about 10 minutes or until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips.
Peel and slice the onion into thin wedges, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sliced onion to the pan, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pan and stir fry for about 5 minutes until they start to soften but still retain their crunch.
Add the cooked baby potatoes to the pan, and sprinkle salt and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to ensure even coating.
Increase the heat to high and stir fry for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the potatoes and peppers to get a nice golden-brown color.
Add the fresh spinach to the pan, and stir for another minute until the spinach wilts.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the potato stir fry warm as a light meal or a nutritious side dish.
