Serves 4
- 300g potatoes (e.g. desiree)
- 30ml vegetable or neutral oil

Directions
-
Step 1
Chop the potatoes into bite-sized pieces, then place them in a pot of cold salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside to cool.
-
Step 2
While the potatoes cool, roughly chop the onion and capsicum into similar-sized pieces. Heat a large frying pan over high heat and add the oil. Toss in the capsicum, onion, and potatoes, frying until they start to develop colour. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue frying until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside.

Step 3
Serve stacked high in a bowl or alongside your favourite savoury breakfast—think tofu scramble, avocado toast, or grilled tomatoes.
