You Will Need
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
¾ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds yellow potatoes, chopped into ½ inch pieces (900 g)
1 large bell pepper, chopped, about 1 ¼ cups (170 g)
1 medium onion, chopped, about 1 cup (170 g)
1 bunch green onions, about 6, thinly sliced
Flaky sea salt, for serving
Directions
1Make spice mix: In a bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
2Cook the potatoes: Pat the potatoes dry, then heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (12-inch) over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown.
3Lower the heat to medium, add the bell pepper, yellow onion, and spice mix, and cook for 8 to 12 more minutes, or until the onions begin to soften and the potatoes are tender. Don’t be afraid to add a little color to them. Add the green onions, then cook for 1 minute. Serve with flaky salt sprinkled over the top.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Storing: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
- Oven-baked potatoes: Add the potatoes, olive oil, pepper, yellow onion, and spice mix to a bowl. Toss well, then spread into a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. Stir halfway through baking for the best results. Scatter over the green onions and stir. The heat from the potatoes will wilt them nicely.
