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)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into thin matchstick-sized strips.

Step 2

Wash the green bell peppers, remove the seeds and stems, and slice into thin strips roughly the same size as the potatoes.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.

Step 10

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot as a side dish or light main course.
