Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into small cubes, approximately 1/2-inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and parboil for 5 minutes. Drain them thoroughly and set aside to air-dry for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, dice the yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and crispy on all sides.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the onions and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent, and the peppers are tender.
Stir the minced garlic into the vegetable mix and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Season the entire skillet with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, herby finish.
Serve warm as a breakfast side dish or pair with eggs and toast for a complete meal.
