Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into small, evenly sized pieces.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and let them cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until they begin to crisp up.
Stir the potatoes and continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well to coat the vegetables and potatoes evenly with the seasonings.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of freshness.
Serve the Western Potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own.
