Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 russet potatoes cubed
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup red bell pepper diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 sprig rosemary chopped
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • While the pan heats up, combine the cubed potatoes, diced onion, olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Toss well to evenly coat everything.
  • Spread the potatoes in an even layer in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for a few minutes at a time, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are tender but still bright.
  • Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with breakfast, burgers, or your favorite protein.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Russet potatoes get the crispiest edges, but Yukon Golds work if you want a creamier texture.
  • Let the potatoes sit in the pan undisturbed for a few minutes at a time before stirring—that’s how you get that beautiful browning.
  • If you want to speed things up, microwave the potatoes for 2 minutes before frying to soften them slightly.
