Categories     Vegetables

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 large red skinned potatoes
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
2 thin slices of ginger ((minced))
2 cloves garlic ((minced))
3-6 dried red chilies ((de-seeded and chopped))
1 long red or green hot pepper ((de-seeded and julienned))
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
½ teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon chicken stock ((or water))
Salt to taste
1 scallion ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Peel and julienne the potatoes. Soak them in fresh, cold water a couple times (until you can soak them and the water is somewhat clear). Drain and set aside, but don't let them sit longer than 20 minutes, as they'll turn brown.
  • Heat oil in a wok over medium heat, and add the Sichuan peppercorns (make sure they don't burn). When the peppercorns are fragrant, turn off the heat and scoop all the peppercorns out, leaving the oil in the wok. Discard the used peppercorns.
  • Over medium heat, add the ginger, garlic and chilies to the oil. Cook for a minute, and add the potatoes and julienned peppers. Turn the heat up to high and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, chicken stock (or water), and salt. Stir-fry everything for a minute and cover for 45 seconds. Uncover, stir in the scallions, and serve!

CRISPY ITALIAN FRIED POTATOES AND PEPPERS



Crispy Italian Fried Potatoes and Peppers image

A simple but special side dish of crispy browned potatoes and flavorful peppers.

Provided by Lisa

Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 to 3/4 cup canola oil (or enough oil to come up to about 1/4 inch in your skillet)
5 large Idaho russet potatoes
4 long Italian green peppers (also called Italian frying peppers or Cubanelle peppers) ribs and seeds removed, cut into 1-inch by 2-inch pieces.
Kosher salt or Sea Salt, to taste (My favorite is Malden sea salt)

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl halfway with cold water. Peel the potatoes and place them in the water as you go, to prevent discoloration.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly (1/8-1/4 inch thick) and place slices in the bowl of water, as you go. I recommend using a mandolin or a food processor with the slicing blade attachment. Or you can slice them by hand with a sharp knife.
  • Lay an absorbent dish towel on the counter and have another one or two handy. Drain the sliced potato in a mesh strainer and dump them onto a towel. Pat and blot them dry. They will brown better if you get them nice and dry.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat, until hot but not smoking. Add the potato slices and immediately toss them until they're all coated with oil. Let the potatoes cook, undisturbed, for 3-5 minutes, or until the bottom pieces look brown around the edges. Mound the peppers on top and add a pinch or two of salt. Flip the potatoes over with a spatula, so some raw potatoes and peppers are on the bottom of the skillet. Leave them undisturbed for another 3-5 minutes, until they are nice and brown on the bottom. Continue to brown and toss potatoes for 5-10 minutes longer, until about half of them are crisp and brown and the rest are soft and creamy.
  • Serve hot. Season, to taste, with salt.

STIR-FRIED POTATOES AND PEPPERS RECIPE



Stir-Fried Potatoes and Peppers Recipe image

Provided by Camille

Number Of Ingredients 7

6-8 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil (add more if needed)
salt and pepper to taste
seasoning salt to taste
water (as needed)

Steps:

  • Place large skillet on stove-top, pour in olive oil, let oil warm up over medium high heat. Add the sliced potatoes and let them cook for a couple of minutes (7-8 minutes), stirring occasionally so that they don't burn. As the potatoes start to get tender, add peppers and onions. Lower the heat to medium, top with salt, pepper, and seasoning salt (plus any other spices you like- sometimes I like to throw a little Parmesan cheese on there) and place lid on top of the skillet. Stir every couple of minutes to keep from burning (if you need to add liquid, add water 1-2 tablespoons at a time). Continue to cook for 10-15 minutes (or longer if your potatoes are sliced thick), until potatoes, peppers, and onions are all soft and tender. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, cut the potatoes and peppers into uniform sizes.
  • For a crispy texture, fry the potatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and steaming the potatoes.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok or large skillet to prevent the potatoes and peppers from sticking.
  • Add the vegetables in stages, starting with the potatoes and then adding the peppers once the potatoes begin to soften.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat to ensure a quick cooking time and maintain their crispiness.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce and sesame oil to your taste preferences.
  • Garnish the stir-fried potatoes and peppers with chopped scallions or cilantro for an extra layer of flavor and color.
  • Serve the stir-fried potatoes and peppers immediately with rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

This stir-fried potatoes and peppers recipe offers a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. With its vibrant colors and simple ingredients, this recipe is sure to impress your family and friends. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a flavorful dish to share at a gathering, this stir-fry is an excellent choice.
