Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Immediately place the diced potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Dice the onion and bell peppers into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Swirl together until melted and fully combined.
Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp and brown.
Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.
Season the mixture with the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasonings.
Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender, and the vegetables are slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant garnish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a hearty base for breakfast with eggs. Enjoy your Calico Skillet Potatoes!
