Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb russet potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes scrubbed; peel if you prefer
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or avocado oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter adds rich browning; optional
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 0.75 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 1 tsp paprika smoked or sweet
- 0.75 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt more to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped or chives
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Cover cubed potatoes with cold salted water in a pot.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer until barely tender at the edges. Drain well.
- Return potatoes to the warm pot and shake to roughen edges. Let steam-dry for a minute.
- Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Spread potatoes in an even layer and cook without stirring until golden on the bottom.
- Flip and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until crisp and browned on most sides.
- Stir in onion and bell pepper and cook until softened and lightly charred at the edges.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly.
- Fold in parsley, taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.
Notes
Variation: Add a pinch of cayenne for heat or finish with a splash of vinegar for brightness. Make-ahead tip: Parboil the potatoes, cool, and refrigerate up to 2 days; crisp in a hot skillet or air fryer before serving.
