Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium sized Russet Potatoes peeled and medium diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Bell Pepper diced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup Onion diced
  • Splash of Tabasco Sauce optional
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet on medium heat add 1 TBS Vegetable Oil. Once hot add the garlic, pepper and onion. Saute until aromatic and softened, around 4 minutes.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and stir frequently to avoid sticking, with a wooden spoon. Turn to high heat. Once potatoes have a touch of color on the edges add 1 TBS water. Let boil and sizzle for 7-8 minutes stirring frequently until liquid has evaporated.
  3. Stir with a wooden spoon and toss until each side is crispy. Splash a bit of Tabasco in the pan for some heat. Season with salt and pepper. Serve while steaming hot.

Notes

This is such a satisfying breakfast, even on it’s own. The potatoes are crisp on the edge but soft and tender all the way through. And the simple vegetable trio of garlic, red bell pepper and onion do the trick. And the best part is that they reheat well in the microwave (though chances of having leftovers are unlikely!)
