4 servings
- 2 lbs yukon gold potatoes, cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 3 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil), divided
- 1 medium yellow onion, cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into ½-inch dice
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the cubed potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are just barely tender when pierced with a fork but still hold their shape, about 5–6 minutes. Drain well and spread on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to dry for 2–3 minutes.

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large (12-inch) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the parboiled potatoes in a single layer and press them gently with a spatula. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden brown and release easily from the pan.
