Instructions
Get prepped
- Peel 4 medium-sized potatoes and cut them into small, bite-sized cubes.
- Dice 1 medium onion, ½ red bell pepper, and ½ green bell pepper.
- Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to a bowl and mix together.
Partially cook the potatoes (parboil)
- Place the potato cubes in a pot of cold, salted water.
- Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften slightly. You don't want them fully cooked.
- Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cook onions and peppers
- Heat 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil or bacon grease or bacon grease in a large cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and bell peppers. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften, and the onions turn translucent.
Add potatoes and seasonings
- Add the potatoes to the skillet with the peppers and onions.
- Sprinkle with the mixed seasonings, and stir to get each piece covered in seasoning.
Cook until golden brown
- Spread the potatoes out in the skillet so they’re in a single layer.
- Leave them alone! Cook without stirring for about 5 minutes or until the potatoes develop a crispy, golden-brown crust on one side.
- Flip the potatoes using a spatula and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the other side is also golden brown and crispy. You may need to add a bit more oil if the pan becomes too dry.
Serve
- Serve immediately with other breakfast items like eggs, bacon, sausage etc.
