These flavorful potatoes are easy to prepare and cook, and they make a great side dish for a family breakfast or dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, quartered, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium clove garlic, finely minced
  • 6 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut in 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet or electric skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add the red pepper and garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the potatoes, paprika, about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Continue cooking for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned.
Serves 4 to 6.
