Ingredients

• 4 pieces frankfurters
• 2 large russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.75 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel (optional), and dice them into small, bite-sized cubes.

Step 2

Slice the frankfurters into 1/2-inch pieces. Finely chop the onion and dice the green bell pepper.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and vegetable oil. Once melted, add the potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and starting to soften.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the frankfurter slices and cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing them to brown slightly.

Step 6

Season the mixture with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the flavors evenly.

Step 7

Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.

Step 8

Uncover the skillet, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and cover again. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the cheese has melted.

Step 9

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired, for a touch of color and freshness.

Step 10

Serve warm directly from the skillet. This dish pairs well with crusty bread or a side salad.
