Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash, peel (if desired), and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while prepping the other ingredients.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small, even-sized pieces. Set aside.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the potatoes are dry will help them crisp up during cooking.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to develop a golden-brown crust.
Stir in the diced bell peppers and onions. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables in the seasoning.
Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the peppers and onions are soft and slightly caramelized.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a breakfast spread. Enjoy!
