Method

1
Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into rounds about 3-4mm thick. Slice the onions into thin half-rings and cut the green peppers into strips.
10 minutes
2
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large, deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and green peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
8 minutes
3
Add the sliced potatoes to the pan, season with salt and pepper, and stir gently to coat everything in the olive oil. Add a splash of water to help the potatoes cook through without burning.
5 minutes
4
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook the potatoes slowly, turning them occasionally, until they are tender and lightly golden.
25 minutes
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, a pinch of brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and a few drops of Tabasco sauce to create a seasoning mixture.
3 minutes
6
Pour the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and stir gently to combine, ensuring all the potato slices are evenly coated. Cook for an additional few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5 minutes
7
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Tabasco as needed. Remove from heat and let the dish rest briefly before serving.
