1
Wash and Cut Potatoes
Begin by washing the Russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
2
Chop Vegetables
Finely chop the onion and green bell pepper. Set aside the chopped vegetables for later.
3
Prepare Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the spices.

4
Heat Oil
In a large skillet or frying pan, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking.
5
Fry Potatoes
Carefully add the cubed potatoes to the hot oil in a single layer. Fry for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
6
Add Vegetables and Seasoning
Once the potatoes are almost cooked through, add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the skillet. Sprinkle in the seasoning mixture and stir to combine everything evenly. Continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried potatoes and vegetables from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
