Ingredients

• 500 grams potatoes
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 large red onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and parboil them for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Wash and dice the red and yellow bell peppers into similar bite-sized pieces. Cut the zucchini into half-moon slices. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer and fry until they are golden and crispy on the outside, about 8-10 minutes. Flip occasionally for even cooking.

Step 5

Remove the fried potatoes from the skillet and set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced red onion and garlic, sautéing for 2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 7

Add the bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Sprinkle with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Return the fried potatoes to the skillet. Toss everything together gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a side dish or a light meal.
