Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 1 medium Yellow onion

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Transfer the diced potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent them from browning and to remove excess starch.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh parsley. Dice the red bell pepper and yellow onion into 1/2-inch pieces.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure they crisp up nicely while cooking.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 10 minutes, allowing them to sear and develop a golden crust.

Step 6

After 10 minutes, add the red bell pepper and yellow onion to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with the potatoes.

Step 7

Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly coat all the vegetables with the seasoning.

Step 8

Continue to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are cooked through and tender, and the bell pepper and onion have softened.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your heart-healthy home fries as a side to your favorite breakfast dish.
