Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Potatoes
- 2 medium-sized Green bell peppers
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips.
Wash the green bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice into thin strips roughly the same size as the potatoes.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the potato strips to the skillet and stir well to coat them evenly with oil. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to soften and turn golden brown. Adjust the heat to medium-low if necessary to prevent burning.
Add the green bell pepper strips to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes, or until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp and the potatoes are fully cooked.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with ground black pepper, salt, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir well to combine and cook for 1 more minute.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
