Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
Place the diced potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, dice the onion and red bell pepper into small, even pieces.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until they start to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
Let the potatoes cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to form a golden brown crust on the bottom.
Using a spatula, gently flip the potatoes in sections to crisp the other sides, cooking for another 5-7 minutes.
Continue cooking and occasionally flipping until all sides of the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately, and enjoy your low-fat crispy homefries!
