Ingredients
- 3 pounds potato Yukon gold variety
- 1 onion yellow, medium-sized, peeled, small diced
- 4 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 red bell pepper seeded, small diced
- 1 poblano pepper seeded, small diced
- 5 garlic finely minced

Instructions
- Start by cutting the potatoes, onions, peppers, and garlic.
- Add the oil to a large non-stick frying pan over high heat and heat until it begins to smoke lightly.
- Pour in the potatoes and onions and spread them out across the pan so that they are in a single layer.
- Let them stand for 7 to 8 minutes to get a good brown crust on them.
- Next, sauté them for 3 to 4 minutes getting them browned on all sides.
- Add in the peppers, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper, and continue cooking them for a further 3 to 4 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy and tender.
- Finish the potatoes with butter and an optional garnish of sliced green onions.
- Try serving the potatoes with my steak and eggs recipe.

Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten within an hour of you making them. However, you can keep them warm uncovered in the oven at low temperatures (<200°) for up to 30 minutes.
- How to Store: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. These do not freeze well, so I advise against freezing them. If you do freeze them, they may turn mushy after thawing, in which case you can fry them and make hash browns or potato pan cakes.
- How to Reheat: Place the fried potatoes in a pan or on a metal tray and bake in the oven at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes or until warm and crispy.
- You can also finish the potatoes with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, chives, or sage.
- Try tossing the potatoes with 1 teaspoon of white vinegar once finished.
- If you submerge your potatoes in water after peeling to get ahead of the prep, be sure to dry them thoroughly before frying them.
- Feel free to peel the potatoes if you’d like.
- You can use sweet or spicy paprika as well.
- Try rendering some bacon in the pan and frying the potatoes in the rendered fat. Serve the finished potatoes with the crispy bacon lardons.
