Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 cup Black olives
- 1 large Lemon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes. Cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
Finely chop the red onion and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out in a single layer. Let them cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to become golden.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, chopped onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 8 minutes, stirring frequently until the onions are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and rosemary and cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.
Roughly chop the black olives and add them to the skillet. Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the vegetables, reserving a little for garnish if desired.
Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything well to combine, and cook for another 5 minutes until everything is evenly browned and crispy.
Chop the parsley and sprinkle over the homefries before serving.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon juice if desired.
