Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Optional: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Scrub and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for about 5 minutes until partially tender, then drain well and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely dice the onion and red bell pepper.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking until they become soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the partially cooked potatoes to the skillet. Spread them in a single layer to ensure crispness.
Sprinkle the salt, ground black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder over the potatoes, stirring occasionally to coat them evenly and prevent sticking.
Cook without stirring for about 5-6 minutes until the bottom side of the potatoes is golden brown and crispy. Then carefully flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until all sides are crispy.
Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
Remove from heat and, if desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for an optional touch of freshness.
Serve immediately hot and enjoy as a side or on their own.
