Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Spatula

Method
 

Method:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables - Begin by washing and peeling the Yukon Gold potatoes. Dice them into small, uniform cubes, about half an inch in size, for even cooking.
  2. Step 2: Dice the Onions and Bell Peppers - Finely dice the yellow onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper, aiming for similar sizes to the potatoes.
  3. Step 3: Heat the Skillet - In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it’s hot but not smoking.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Potatoes - Add the diced potatoes in a single layer. Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Add the Vegetables - Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet once the potatoes are slightly tender and stir well.
  6. Step 6: Continue Cooking - Cook for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Step 7: Garnish and Serve - Remove from heat, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add diced cooked bacon or sausage.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet for crispy potatoes.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your taste.
