Crispy Herb Potatoes




ingredients:
- cilantro
- garlic - lots of it
- salt and pepper to taste
- yellow or white onions
- green peppers
- hot sauce
- safflower oil (or other high heat oil)
- potatoes (some kind of white potato)

directions:
- slice the potatoes thinly into rounds
- put safflower oil into cast iron pan or other large pan.
- add potatoes, ideally your pan is large enough so there are only two layers of potatoes.
- cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally until they start to soften
- chop up the green pepper and onion and then add them
- cook more until these are brown and the potatoes are soft and somewhat crispy
- then add the garlic (finely chopped) for about 5 minutes and
- add the cilantro (chopped)
- add salt and pepper to taste
- serve hot with hot sauce on the side.

a trick to this recipe is to boil the potatoes beforehand, this will significantly decrease the cook time in the cast iron pan and can be done the night before.
