# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 3 medium russet potatoes, diced (about 1.1 pounds)
02 - 1 red bell pepper, diced
03 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
04 - 1 red onion, diced
05 - 5 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
06 - 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
07 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
→ Spices & Seasonings
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
11 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
12 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Others
13 - 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
14 - Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish
15 - Hot sauce, to serve
# How To Make:
01 - Place diced potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender but not falling apart. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes in a single layer and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
03 - Push the crispy potatoes to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the empty space, then add bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften and develop slight color.
04 - Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until spices become fragrant and garlic is lightly golden.
05 - Add chopped spinach to the pan and toss with the vegetable mixture. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted but still vibrant green.
06 - Mix everything together thoroughly, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated with spices. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot, passing hot sauce at the table for those who prefer extra heat.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- Crispy potatoes and tender vegetables create the perfect texture contrast in every bite
- The spice blend hits that smoky, savory note that makes breakfast feel complete
02 -
- Don't skip the par-boiling step or your potatoes will be undercooked before the outside burns
- Let the vegetables get some color between stirs, those browned bits are where the flavor lives
03 -
- Cut vegetables into similar sized pieces so everything cooks evenly
- Use the largest pan you have, overcrowding makes everything steam instead of crisp
