A Few Tips
I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes for this dish, but you could also use red or russet potatoes.
Through the years, I’ve started precooking the potatoes in the microwave to help speed up the process in the skillet. Just place your sliced potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 8-10 minutes until the potatoes start to turn tender. They will have a soft starchiness to them at this point. Drain off any water that has developed. And then place them in a hot skillet with oil to finish cooking.
I like adding some fresh parsley to the potatoes, to give them a nice fresh look and taste. You could also use dried parsley.
Cube potatoes and place on a microwave-safe plate. Cook on high for 8-10 minutes, until starting to turn tender.
Heat large cast iron skillet with oil. Add diced potatoes and allow to cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes until lightly browned. Reduce heat to medium low.
Add onion, green pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix in with potatoes and allow to cook for 10 minutes until vegetables are tender. Cover and simmer for 10-12 minutes more until ready to serve. Add fresh parsley before serving. Serves 4-6
