Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 small, diced Yellow onion
• 1 small, diced Red bell pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes, then dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (about 1/2 inch).

Step 2

Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and let cook for 5-7 minutes, or until they're just fork-tender. Do not overcook.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, swirl it around to coat the bottom of the skillet.

Step 5

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out evenly and let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a crispy, golden crust on one side.

Step 7

Season the potatoes with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to combine.

Step 8

Continue cooking the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for an additional 8-10 minutes until they're evenly browned and crispy on all sides.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top. Toss lightly to distribute.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a side dish for breakfast or brunch. Enjoy!
