Peel the potatoes and dice them into 1/2 inch cubes. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning and to remove excess starch.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Add potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to become tender and lightly golden.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the potatoes. Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and ground cumin. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
If using cooked bacon, crumble it and add to the skillet, stirring to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot.
