Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 Yukon Gold potatoes (medium-sized)
- 2 Green bell peppers
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Yellow onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 6 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons Red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of water to prevent oxidation.
Deseed and thinly slice the green and red bell peppers into strips. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion into half-moons.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions. Sauté for 4-5 minutes or until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced bell peppers and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but not browned.
Drain and pat dry the potato slices with a clean kitchen towel. Push the peppers and onions to the side of the skillet and add the potatoes in a single layer. Sprinkle the sea salt and black pepper evenly.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the potatoes, stir gently to combine, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. The potatoes should become soft and golden but not crispy.
In a small bowl, whisk together smoked paprika and red wine vinegar. Drizzle this mixture over the cooked potato-pepper-onion medley and toss gently to coat.
Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top just before serving for a fresh, vibrant finish.
Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats, fried eggs, or as a standalone tapas plate with crusty bread.
