- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.
Step 2
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to slightly soften the potatoes.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and set them aside to let them steam dry for a couple of minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, dice the onion and bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted.
Step 6
Add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to become translucent.
Step 7
Add the bell peppers and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high.
Step 9
Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 10
Cook the potatoes in a single layer, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, about 20 minutes.
Step 11
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top.
Step 12
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious homemade home fries!
