Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water, bring to a boil, and add a pinch of salt. Add the diced potatoes and parboil them for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, peel and dice the onion, and dice the green bell pepper into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to form a golden crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the potatoes. Stir gently to coat the potatoes evenly with the spices.

Step 6

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the butter to the empty side. Once melted, add the diced onions and bell peppers to the buttered side of the skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the peppers are tender.

Step 7

Combine the vegetables with the potatoes in the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure everything is evenly cooked and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the home fries for a burst of freshness.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy your delicious home fries!
