How to cook stir-fried potatoes

1. First, wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water. If you use an organic product you can keep the peel, otherwise we advise you to remove it with a potato peeler.

2. Now divide your potatoes in half lengthwise, then into quarters and finally into wedges .

3. Now take a pan, pour a drizzle of oil into it, the garlic without its shirt and the chopped aromatic herbs. Brown the garlic for a few minutes then throw in the potatoes, salt and pepper and let them roast for a few minutes.

4. At this point add 1 glass of water and close the pan with the lid. Let it cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes .
5. After this time, remove the lid and, if the potatoes are soft, turn up the heat and brown the potatoes well for at least another 4-5 minutes. If, on the other hand, they are still hard, add a drop of water and close the lid again for a few minutes.

If you like, you can prepare a richer and tastier version by simply adding some onion. To make this recipe a second course, I suggest you accompany them with a simple fried egg or sausage.
