Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes or 5 medium ones, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup frozen corn or mixed veggies optional, but adds zest
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bell pepper chopped (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: salsa avocado, hot sauce, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When it shines, you’re ready for action.
  • Throw in the onions and garlic. Sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly translucent.
  • Add the potatoes and bell pepper. Stir to coat with oil and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes start to soften (about 10–12 minutes).
  • Stir in paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. If you’re using frozen veggies, add them now. Cook another 5–7 minutes until everything is tender and lightly browned.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. If you like, finish with a splash of hot sauce or a squeeze of lime for brightness.
