Begin by washing and peeling 500 grams of potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large non-stick skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic cloves to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the oil and garlic.
Allow the potatoes to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Add the thinly sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to stir fry for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the peppers are cooked through but still crisp.
Stir in the chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons of low sodium soy sauce, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. If desired, add 0.25 teaspoon of chili flakes for a hint of spice.
Continue to stir fry everything together for another 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own for a light meal.
