Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each one a few times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Let the potatoes cool slightly until they are safe to handle.
Step 3
Dice the baked potatoes into bite-sized cubes, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Step 5
Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
Step 6
Add the diced potato cubes to the skillet, spreading them out in an even layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a crispy, golden crust on one side.
Step 7
Sprinkle the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes and stir gently to coat while preventing the cubes from breaking apart.
Step 8
Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally to ensure all sides of the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot as a standalone breakfast dish or alongside eggs, bacon, or toast for a full diner-style experience.
