Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes and place the cubes in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into similarly sized 1/2-inch pieces and set them aside.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Spray the skillet lightly with olive oil spray.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to crisp and turn golden brown.
Spray the skillet with olive oil spray again if needed, then add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the skillet contents. Stir well to distribute the seasonings.
Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are softened but still brightly colored.
Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley (optional) and serve warm as a side dish.
