Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Green bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel (if desired), and dice the russet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while prepping the other ingredients.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion into small, even-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Ensuring the potatoes are dry will help them crisp up during cooking.

Step 4

In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until melted and shimmering.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to develop a golden-brown crust.

Step 6

Stir in the diced bell peppers and onions. Season with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables in the seasoning.

Step 7

Continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the peppers and onions are soft and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a breakfast spread. Enjoy!
