Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound new potatoes
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
Place the cut potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes cook, dice the bacon slices into small pieces.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until they are crispy. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
Thinly slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the skillet with the bacon grease over medium heat and add the olive oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the drained potatoes to the other side. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring the potatoes occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Mix the potatoes and vegetables together in the skillet. Sprinkle in the cooked bacon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve warm and enjoy!
