Calabrese-Style Fried Potatoes with Peppers (Patate Fritte con Peperoni) Recipe Type : Side Dish Cuisine: Italian Author: Susan Pridmore Serves: 4 - 6 If you are looking for the perfect partner to serve with plain-Jane grilled or roasted meat or fish, this Italian version of fried potatoes with peppers is deliciously different. You can use any combination of sweet or even mildly hot peppers (throw in a hot banana pepper for more spice), but I recommend varying the colors for a pretty presentation.
