Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each one a few times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Let the potatoes cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Dice the baked potatoes into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Add the diced potato cubes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a crispy, golden crust on one side.
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes and stir gently to coat while preventing the cubes from breaking apart.
Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure all sides of the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a standalone breakfast dish or alongside eggs, bacon, or toast for a full diner-style experience.
