Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 1.5 pounds) Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color)
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch each, to ensure even cooking.

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, finely dice the yellow onion and bell peppers. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the parboiled potatoes in an even layer and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to crisp and turn golden brown. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried thyme, ground black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and enhance their flavor.

Step 7

Return the crispy potatoes to the skillet and stir to combine with the onion and pepper mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is evenly browned and heated through.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer the potato hash to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy as a standalone meal or alongside eggs, sausage, or toast.
