• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin slices or small cubes for faster cooking.

Step 2

Place the potato pieces in a bowl and cover them with water to prevent browning while you prepare other ingredients.

Step 4

Deseed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.

Step 5

Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions and minced garlic to the pan. Stir fry for about 3 minutes until the onion is tender and slightly golden.

Step 7

Drain the potatoes well and add them to the pan with an additional tablespoon of olive oil. Stir fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Add the sliced red bell pepper, ground cumin, and paprika to the potatoes. Stir fry for another 5 minutes until the peppers are tender and the potatoes are cooked through.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 10

Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle the potato stir fry with fresh parsley and lemon juice before serving.

Step 11
