Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Rinse under cold water and set aside.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and bell pepper. Mince the garlic and slice the green onions, keeping the green tops separate from the white parts.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

  2. 4

    Add the Potatoes

    Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables and season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili powder. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to soften.

  3. 5

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Pour in the milk and stir well. Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese gradually, stirring constantly until melted and creamy.

  4. 6

    Finish with Green Onions

    Once the potatoes are tender and coated in the cheese sauce, stir in the sliced green onion tops for added flavor and garnish.
