How to Make Stir-Fried Potatoes with Green Peppers

Stir-fried potatoes with green peppers is a simple, delicious dish loved for its crispy-tender texture and vibrant flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to mastering it.

First, prepare the ingredients: 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced into 1cm cubes), 2 green peppers (sliced into strips), 2 cloves of garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. For seasoning, you’ll need 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, a pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon of sugar, and a dash of vinegar (optional, for brightness).

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until they start to turn golden. Cover the pan briefly for 2-3 minutes to soften them (this ensures a tender inside). Then, add the minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Toss in the green pepper strips and continue stir-frying for 2-3 minutes until they crisp slightly but remain bright green. Season with soy sauce, salt, and sugar—mix well. If using vinegar, add it now for a tangy kick. Stir for another minute, then turn off the heat.

Serve hot as a side dish or with rice. Enjoy this quick, flavorful meal that’s perfect for any day!
