Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil or bacon fat
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Method
 

  1. Toss the diced potatoes, onion, bell pepper, oil, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the mixture in a single layer, and cook undisturbed for 8-10 minutes until the bottoms are deeply golden.
  3. Flip the potatoes in large sections and cook 8-10 minutes more, stirring only once or twice, until tender and crispy.
  4. Taste and adjust salt if needed, then serve hot.

Notes

If you want even more browning, give the potatoes an extra minute or two after the second flip without stirring. A nonstick skillet works, but the crust won’t be quite as deep.
