Instructions
Follow these simple steps to prepare skillet potatoes with bell peppers and onions:
- Preparation
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them if preferred. Slice them into thin rounds or cubes, ensuring uniformity for even cooking.
- Slice the bell peppers into strips and the onions into thin slices.
- Heating the Skillet
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
- Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
- Cooking the Potatoes
- Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet with the onions. Stir to coat them with oil.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Adding Bell Peppers
- Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add the sliced bell peppers.
- Continue to cook for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the bell peppers are soft yet retain some crunch.
- Finishing Touches
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serving
