Home Fries Supremo
- 4 or 5 large potatoes (russet, red, or new potatoes)
- 1 medium onion, peeled and cut into thin matchlike strips
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin matchlike strips
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons corn oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper
- Medium saucepan
- Large nonstick frying pan
- Colander
- Cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters.
- Cut the quarters into 1-inch thick chunks, put them in a medium saucepan with just enough cold water to cover them.
- If using new potatoes, just cut them into quarters.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes.
- The potatoes should be slightly undercooked.
- Drain in a colander and set aside.
- When the potatoes are cooked and drained, put a large nonstick frying pan on high heat and let it get hot, about 30 seconds.
- Reduce the heat to medium high, add the oil, onion, and bell pepper, and cook until the onion is soft, about 6 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the potatoes.
- Cook for about 15 minutes, turning the potatoes frequently so that all sides get browned.
- Add the paprika and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook for 5 minutes more, until the potatoes are crisply browned.
