Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2 inch cubes for even cooking.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot, cover them with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the onion and cut the bell pepper into small pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture starts to sizzle.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the bell pepper and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the drained potatoes to the skillet, and spread them out in an even layer. Avoid stirring too much to allow the potatoes to develop a crispy crust.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over the potatoes. Let them cook for about 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the homefries are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top as a garnish.
Serve hot as a delicious side to your favorite breakfast dishes or enjoy them on their own.
