Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 1 large Bell pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl of cold water. Let soak for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch.
While the potatoes soak, finely dice the onion and bell pepper. Set aside in a small bowl.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer, and cook for 10-12 minutes uncovered, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent sticking, until they start to crisp and turn golden brown.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the empty side of the pan. Add the onions and bell peppers to the oil and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.
Season the potatoes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed over the potatoes and vegetables.
Continue cooking for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the home fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve hot as a side dish for breakfast or alongside your favorite main course.
