Chili garlic potatoes

I haven't been making potatoes that often lately but yesterday we got a whole package of potatoes and it was about time to give some respect to the king of spuds.

The original recipe called for baby potatoes but I used the smallest of the Russet potatoes from the bag I got

Chili Garlic Potatoes ( stir fried potatoes with garlic and three different chilies)


Garlic Chili Potatoes
Ingredients
1. 1 lb baby potatoes or small potatoes boiled till they are fork tender. Peel them
2. 1-11/2 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3. 1 tablespoon oil
4. 1 Serrano chilly chopped
5. 1 teaspoon Chinese chilli paste
6. 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
7. 1/2 tablespoon each of soy sauce, white vinegar
8. Salt to taste
9. Tiny pinch of red food color (optional)

In a non stick pan heat the oil and fry the garlic and green chillies for a couple of minutes. Add red chili paste, little bit of salt, food color if using and stir well. Add soy sauce and vinegar and stir to combine. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and pepper and stir to combine into sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Add baby potatoes or cut the small potatoes into halves or quarters depending on the size. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Check for salt and add if needed. Serve as an appetizer or a side dish
