Potato Pepper Onion Skillet

I was proud of myself with this meal. Jack is the expert potato cook but I was in charge tonight since Jack was out late with his master's classes. There wasn't much to it, but the way I cooked my potatoes I followed here - http://southernfood.about.com/od/potatorecipes/r/r70529d.htm

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, quartered, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium clove garlic, finely minced
  • 6 medium red-skinned potatoes, cut in 1/2-inch dice
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

Heat oil in a large, heavy, nonstick skillet or electric skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add the red pepper and garlic and cook for 1 minute longer. Add the potatoes, paprika, about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until potatoes are just tender. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Continue cooking for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely browned.
Serves 4 to 6.

Like I said, I cooked the potatoes according to this order and added in my own seasonings until I reached what i liked. You'll love my measurements. :) I used red onion and added in green bell pepper too!

seasoning salt (a lot)
garlic (generous)
paprika (generous)
chili powder (little)
pepper (little)
dash of cayenne red pepper
onion powder
I also scrambled 2 eggs in (I think a must!)

Turned out delicious!
