1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Russet potatoes thoroughly under running water. Peel them if desired, then cut them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
2
Chop Vegetables
While the potatoes are soaking, dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces. Set aside.

3
Drain and Dry Potatoes
After 30 minutes, drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
4
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
5
Cook the Potatoes
Add the drained and dried cubed potatoes to the hot skillet. Spread them out in an even layer. Allow them to cook without stirring for about 5-7 minutes, until they start to brown on the bottom.
6
Add Vegetables and Seasonings
Once the potatoes are browned, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Stir everything together, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
7
Continue Cooking
Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Adjust seasoning to taste.
8
Serve
Once cooked, remove the home fries from the skillet and serve hot as a delicious side dish for breakfast or brunch.
