02 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 red onion, diced
05 - 5.3 oz button mushrooms, sliced
06 - 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (about 2.1 oz)
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

→ Other Ingredients
13 - 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
14 - Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
15 - Hot sauce, to serve (optional)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Place diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
03 - Push the potatoes to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then add the diced bell peppers, red onion, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
04 - Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant and spices are well distributed.
05 - Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant green.
06 - Mix all ingredients together thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
07 - Transfer to serving plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot with hot sauce on the side if desired.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The parboil trick gives you crispy edges without the long wait times of raw potato methods.
- Everything cooks in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy your coffee.
02 -
- Do not skip parboiling because raw potatoes will burn on the outside before cooking through.
- Crowding the pan causes steaming instead of browning, so use the largest skillet you own.
03 -
- Dice everything to similar sizes so each bite has a little of every ingredient.
- A splash of liquid smoke transforms the flavor profile if you crave that campfire taste.
