my grandpa used to say, “a potato will cure what ails ya…” and i’ve held on to his words over the years. i can hear him in the back of my head when i’m making mashed potatoes, or any variation of potatoes. i just happen to love them. probably in part due to my irish and german roots and also due to my grandma always teaching me how to stretch a dollar. the potato is an inexpensive food that is loaded with vitamins and minerals. when i was a kid, i used to chop them up into small bits, sprinkle them with salt, and eat them raw!
today, i eat them any way i can get them. lately, i’ve been making a potato hash, or potato homefries. it keeps well in the fridge, and you can make a huge batch and heat them up for breakfast or a side dish with dinner. top with a fresh egg, or dip in a little ranch dressing or ketchup… and nom nom!
i’ve been keeping it pretty simple with mine :
- russet potatoes {they are simply heartier and healthier}
- bell peppers {i choose red for the colour and vitamin c}
- garlic {does wonders for immunity and the body!}
- onion {red, again, because – eat the rainbow!}
- S&P {i mean, can’t have potatoes without it}
simply heat up some oil or butter on medium to high heat and add in garlic, onions, bell peppers, and potatoes… then cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occaisonally. you want the potatoes to crisp up a little bit… but keep in mind, if you are batch-cooking them, you can reheat them later and crisp them up at that time.
super easy and simple. and you could even freeze these if you wanted to! but i doubt you will want to or have any left over, because they are just so yummy! 🙂

I love potatoes too! I never think to add bell peppers to home fries. I’ll have to give that a go for sure and great idea to make a batch and freeze them.

hey there! always good to hear from you! I never really used bell peppers either but it adds kind of a southwestern flair and I love red bell peppers for all the vitamin c! you could add any pepper but I prefer red for that reason 🙂 green is always good for a little extra flavour too. lemme know what you think if you try them!

I agree with your Grandpa. Potatoes do have a healing/comforting power. I haven’t met a potato that I didn’t like! These look marvelous.
