Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Large bowl
  • Skillet or Frying Pan
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring Spoons

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
 

  • Wash and cube the potatoes. Dice the onion and red bell pepper. Set the bell pepper aside for later.
  • In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes and diced onion with olive oil. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning, garlic powder, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the pieces are evenly coated.
  • Place a skillet on medium-high heat. Let it get hot before adding anything in.
  • Add the seasoned potatoes and onions to the hot skillet in a single layer. Let them cook for about ten to fifteen minutes, stirring now and then, until they are crispy on the outside and soft inside.
  • Toss in the diced red bell pepper. Stir and cook for about five more minutes, just until the peppers are tender but still a little crisp.
  • Take the skillet off the heat and serve the potatoes hot. They’re best enjoyed fresh.
