Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 1 large Bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the potatoes. Dice them into 1/2-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl of cold water. Let soak for 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 2

While the potatoes soak, finely dice the onion and bell pepper. Set aside in a small bowl.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer, and cook for 10-12 minutes uncovered, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent sticking, until they start to crisp and turn golden brown.

Step 5

Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the empty side of the pan. Add the onions and bell peppers to the oil and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Season the potatoes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed over the potatoes and vegetables.

Step 7

Continue cooking for an additional 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the home fries are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top before serving for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve hot as a side dish for breakfast or alongside your favorite main course.
