# Instructions:
01 -
Chop the potatoes into thick rounds, then toss them into salty boiling water for five minutes. Drain them well and pat them dry.
02 -
Pour vegetable oil into a pan until hot. Pop in those boiled potato rounds and fry each side for about 4–5 minutes till golden. Let them drain on paper towels, then immediately shake over the salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
03 -
Mix up the beef strips with 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Let it sit for a bit.
04 -
Add a splash of vegetable oil to a hot pan. Toss the marinated beef in and let it cook for just a couple of minutes—get it browned, not overdone. Pull it all out and keep it for later.
05 -
Still using the same pan, toss in garlic, diced onion, and green chili. Let it sizzle for a minute or two, then add the sliced green and red peppers and stir them for a bit.
06 -
Mix together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, oyster and hoisin sauces (optional), sugar, and broth in a bowl. Pour this mix into the pan and add the cornstarch-water blend.
07 -
Pop the browned beef you set aside earlier back into the pan. Stir everything together with the veggies and sauce for another minute or two until well combined.
08 -
Pile the crispy potatoes on a plate next to the beef stir-fry with all its sauce. Serve immediately while everything is fresh and crunchy.
