Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1 small yellow onion sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced
- 2 carrots sliced
- 2 large yukon or russet potatoes about 1 pound, cut into 1-inch bite-sized pieces
- ⅓ cup of yellow curry paste
- 2 13.5-ounce cans of full-fat coconut milk

Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and carrots, and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, until the bell pepper is tender.
- Add the potatoes and curry paste and sauté for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the coconut milk, and stir in the brown sugar, salt, and red chili pepper flakes.

Notes
- Sauté the paste until fragrant: That is an important step to bloom the herbs and spices, releasing their flavor while cooking out any raw taste.
- Change the flavor profile: Simply substitute the yellow curry paste with green or red curry paste to easily change the flavor and heat level.
- Adjust the intensity: By adjusting how much curry paste you use.
- Experiment with add-ins: Just note the vegetables must be added in order of their cooking time, so nothing ends up raw or overly mushy.
