Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 medium Bell pepper (any color)
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.75 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Peel if desired, though leaving the skins on will add extra texture and nutrients.
Cut the potatoes into small cubes, roughly 1/2 inch in size, to ensure even cooking.
Peel and dice the onion, deseed and chop the bell pepper into small pieces, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and spread them out into an even layer. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes steam for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the potatoes have softened slightly, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly in the seasonings.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes develop a golden-brown exterior and the onions and peppers are softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet during the final 2 minutes of cooking. Stir well, ensuring the garlic doesn't burn.
Remove the skillet from the heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
