Fried potatoes from Calabria

Cut the peppers into strips approximately 2 cm wide and 4 cm long. Sauté in olive oil until al dente, remove, and set aside. Finely chop the garlic and add it to the peppers. Peel the potatoes and slice them using a slicer (setting 3). Fry the slices in the frying fat until tender, turning frequently. Finally, add the pepper pieces back in and heat through. Season with salt and pepper. Note: I had this recipe at a pizza restaurant in Calabria. It was served with fried oyster mushrooms or cima di rapa (a type of spinach, only coarser and more tangy).
