Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer the diced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning and to remove excess starch.
Finely chop the fresh parsley. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure they crisp up nicely while cooking.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 10 minutes, allowing them to sear and develop a golden crust.
After 10 minutes, add the red bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with the potatoes.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat all the vegetables with the seasoning.
Continue to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, and the bell pepper and onion have softened.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy home fries as a side to your favorite breakfast dish.
