Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper
- 0.5 medium yellow onion
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring, allowing the bottoms to turn golden brown.
Meanwhile, finely chop 1/2 a medium red bell pepper and 1/2 a medium yellow onion.
Once the potatoes start to brown, add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper evenly over the potatoes. Stir to coat the potatoes with the spices.
Continue to cook for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy outside. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Chop 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley. Just before serving, sprinkle the parsley over the home fries and give a quick stir.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade low sodium home fries!
