Sexy Chef- Breakfast Potatoes

I LOVE making fried potatoes in the morning. Potatoes are great because you can add in anything and it's going to taste good. My favorite way to make them though, is by just adding a few key ingredients and some heat... they are ALWAYS a crowd pleaser...

Ingredients:
- 4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled, washed and diced into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, minced
- olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- crushed red pepper flakes
- garlic powder
- paprika
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
In a large skillet, drizzle the bottom liberally with olive oil and heat the pan. Add the potoatoes and onions and let them simmer on medium high heat for about 5 minutes. Do not stir. The potatoes and onions should begin getting caramalized and browned on the bottom.

Season with salt and pepper. Add in 1 teaspoon of the following, garlic powder, paprika and crushed red pepper. Add in the green peppers.

Add in 1/2 cup of water, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Uncover, stir together and taste... add more salt and pepper if needed. If the potatoes are soft, they are ready. Cook until they are completely soft.
