Ingredients

  • 3 medium russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers diced, any color

Instructions

  • Rinse the peeled and diced potatoes in a colander and pat dry.

  • Stir the potatoes and let them cook for another few minutes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
