instructions
    1

    Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes until slightly tender. Then, drain and set aside.

    2

    While the potatoes are cooking, wash and slice the bell peppers into strips. Mince the garlic, and chop the green onions.

    3

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    4

    Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, allowing them to get slightly crispy.

    5

    Next, add the sliced bell peppers and continue to stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the peppers are tender yet still vibrant.

    6

    Pour in the soy sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

    7

    Finally, sprinkle the chopped green onion on top and give it one last stir. Allow everything to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

    8

    Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove from heat and serve hot.
