I think fried potatoes is one of the first dishes I learned how to do myself when I was a kid, well besides sandwiches of course. So believe me it is easy to do.
Fried potato is great side for any kind of fried main dishes: meat, poultry, fish or even vegetables. And unlike the french-fries (which is kind of similar food) fried potato use much smaller amount of salt and oil, so I believe it is a bit more healthy.
Boiled rice is a perfect side dish for any kind main dish, especially for spicy food.
Boil rice till it is half-ready and then steam it with a butter. Rice grains become soft and crumbly, but not overcooked.
You may want to try Fried Broccoli Side if you find taste of boiled ones not that exciting. It is not much harder to prepare but you get more rich taste.
Consult the step-by-step photo recipe for that great side dish.
