Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Pat the potato cubes dry with a clean kitchen towel to help them crisp up during cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the pan is large enough to allow the potatoes to spread out in a single layer for proper browning.
- Add the diced potatoes to the hot pan, spreading them evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to allow the potatoes to develop a golden-brown crust.
- After the initial browning, gently stir or flip the potatoes using a spatula. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, allowing all sides to become crispy and golden.
- Add chopped onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed. The vegetables should be soft and the potatoes crisp and golden brown.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs like parsley, chives, or thyme for added flavor and color.
- Serve immediately while hot, as a side dish or a standalone breakfast or brunch item. Can be paired with eggs, bacon, or a fresh salad.
Tips
- Dryness is key! Always pat your potato cubes thoroughly with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve that coveted crispy golden-brown exterior.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible - it provides the most even heat distribution and creates the most beautiful crispy crust on your potatoes.
- Resist the urge to constantly stir! Let the potatoes develop a golden crust by allowing them to sit undisturbed for 4-5 minutes before turning.
- Cut your vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Fresh herbs are not just a garnish - they add a burst of flavor and freshness that elevates the entire dish, so don't skip them!
