- Preparation: 10 min

Ingredients
- 180 g Potatoes
- 30 g Green pepper
- 30 g Red pepper
- 40 g Onion
- 12 g Vegetable oil
- 0.5 g Paprika
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 2 g Parsley, fresh
Method
- Scrub or peel the potatoes and cut them into 1.5 cm dice. Put them in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 4-5 minutes, just until the edges soften but the cubes keep their shape. Drain well and leave them to steam dry for 5 minutes.
- Cut the peppers and onion into 1 cm pieces.
- Heat the oil in a heavy frying pan, ideally cast iron, over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer and leave them alone for 5 minutes, until a golden crust forms underneath.
- Turn them, add the onion and peppers and cook for 8-10 minutes more, turning every couple of minutes, until the potatoes are crisp and brown on several sides and the peppers are soft and charred at the edges.
- Season with the salt, pepper and paprika, scatter with chopped parsley and serve hot, with eggs at breakfast or beside a main course.
