Ingredients

• 500 g Potatoes
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 2 medium Tomatoes
• 60 ml Olive oil
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Sweet paprika
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes, approximately 2-3 cm wide.

Step 2

Thinly slice the onion and garlic cloves. Remove the seeds and core from the red and green bell peppers and slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Blanch the tomatoes by scoring an 'X' on their bottoms, boiling them for 30 seconds, then transferring them to ice water. Once cool, peel off the skin, dice the tomatoes, and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions and garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent.

Step 6

Add the red and green bell peppers to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 7

Stir in the diced tomatoes, sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Add the cubed potatoes to the pan, stirring to combine with the tomato-pepper mixture. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the potatoes cook for 25-30 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender and fragrant.

Step 10

Sprinkle the finished dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Patatas Payesa as a main course or as a delicious side dish to grilled meats or fish.
