Ingredients

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. Leave the skins on for added fiber and nutrients.

Step 2

Dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Next, chop the red and green bell peppers into small, bite-sized pieces. Set them aside.

Step 4

Peel and dice the yellow onion into similarly sized pieces as the bell peppers.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out to form a single layer. Cover and let cook for 10 minutes, shaking the skillet occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Uncover and stir in the chopped bell peppers and onion. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper over the vegetables. Toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 9

Chop the fresh parsley finely and sprinkle over the cooked potatoes before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a warm, heart-healthy side dish or breakfast component.
