Tips:

Choose fresh, young peas for the best flavor and texture.
If you don't have fresh peas, you can use frozen peas. Just thaw them before using.
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven so that the potatoes and peas have plenty of room to cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven. If you do, the potatoes and peas will steam instead of fry.
Cook the potatoes and peas over medium heat so that they have time to cook through without burning.
Stir the potatoes and peas occasionally so that they cook evenly.
Season the potatoes and peas with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Garnish the potatoes and peas with fresh mint before serving.

The potatoes are crispy and golden brown, the peas are sweet and tender, and the mint adds a refreshing flavor that brightens up the dish. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
