How to Prep the Potatoes

For this recipe, you will need to wash and peel 3 large potatoes. Once you have them peeled and washed then you can either dice them into bite-sized cubes or slice them into ¼ inch discs. It just depends on how you like to eat them.

Prepping the Other Ingredients

Now that you have the potatoes prepped you need to dice ½ yellow onion and 1 bell pepper, any color you want. I usually use a green or red bell pepper or sometimes I use a half of each to add more color to the dish. You can dice the onion into smaller chunks than the bell pepper if you do not want them super visible in your dish.
