Description

A delicious skillet dish featuring russet potatoes, onions, and bell peppers, seasoned to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (Sliced into 1 inch rounds or diced into 1 inch cubes. Ensure the potatoes are dry.)
  • 1 cup sliced onions (I used white onions)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green peppers
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. I use a 12-inch cast iron. Add the olive oil, sliced potatoes, onions, green peppers, and spices to the pan.
  2. Saute for 3-4 minutes until the onions are fragrant.
  3. Adjust the heat on the stove to medium. Place the lid on the skillet and allow the potatoes to simmer, steam, and soften for 10-15 minutes (or however long it takes for the potatoes to soften). Take a look from time to time and flip/turn the potatoes with a spatula as necessary to avoid charring.
  4. Remove the lid from the skillet and flip the potatoes. Avoid stirring because stirring will result in the potatoes falling apart. I use a silicone spatula and a careful hand to cook the potatoes for an additional 10 minutes uncovered.
  5. Cool before serving.
  6. Air fry at 400 degrees for 16-20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft. Flip halfway through.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, use avocado oil instead of olive oil.
