Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Immediately place the diced potatoes into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 2

Dice the onion and bell peppers into small, even-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter and olive oil. Swirl together until melted and fully combined.

Step 4

Drain and pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, removing as much moisture as possible.

Step 5

Add the potatoes to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to crisp and brown.

Step 6

Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another 8-10 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

Step 7

Season the mixture with the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to evenly coat the vegetables with the seasonings.

Step 8

Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender, and the vegetables are slightly caramelized.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for a vibrant garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish or a hearty base for breakfast with eggs. Enjoy your Calico Skillet Potatoes!
