How to Make Stir-Fried Green Peppers and Potatoes: A Complete Guide

Stir-fried green peppers and potatoes is a beloved, simple dish loved for its vibrant colors and harmonious flavors. Here’s a detailed guide to making it perfectly.

Ingredients: 2 potatoes (sliced into thin rounds), 2 green peppers (seeded and cut into strips), 3 garlic cloves (minced), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, 2 tbsp cooking oil, and a pinch of chili flakes (optional).

Steps:

1. Prep the veggies: Soak potato slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry. This ensures they crisp up when fried.

2. Blanch the potatoes: Heat oil in a wok, add potatoes, and stir-fry over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until slightly golden. Add 2 tbsp water, cover, and cook for 2 minutes until tender. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-fry peppers: In the same wok, heat more oil, stir-fry garlic until fragrant, then add green peppers. Cook for 1–2 minutes until crisp-tender.

4. Combine and season: Return potatoes to the wok. Add soy sauce, sugar, salt, and chili flakes. Toss everything evenly for 1 minute.

Tips: For extra flavor, splash a bit of rice vinegar before serving. Serve hot with rice for a comforting meal. This dish balances the earthiness of potatoes with the freshness of peppers, making it a versatile staple. Enjoy!
