Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic. Core and thinly slice the red and green bell peppers. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and sautΓ© for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the pot and cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper, and stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Layer the sliced potatoes evenly over the vegetables, then pour in the canned diced tomatoes followed by the vegetable stock. The liquid should just cover the potatoesβadd a splash more stock or water if necessary.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pot.
After 30 minutes, check that the potatoes are tender by piercing them with a fork. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful broth.
