Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Bell pepper (red or green)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, dice the onion and bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using a kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and let it warm up for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, add the potatoes to the pan in an even layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the potatoes crisp up properly.

Step 7

Cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Sprinkle the garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 9

Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and add the diced onion and bell pepper to the empty side. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly caramelized.

Step 10

Mix the onions and bell peppers with the potatoes and cook for another 3-5 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 12

Serve hot as a breakfast side dish or enjoy as-is with your favorite toppings like sour cream, cheese, or fried eggs.
