Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 10-15 minutes

Equipment Needed

• large skillet
• measuring cup
• measuring spoons
• knife
• cutting board

Ingredients

• 3 large baking potatoes, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• ½ medium red onion, diced
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 1 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried parsley
• ½ tsp dried rosemary
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• sea salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Add the potato and water to a large microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or just until potatoes are crisp tender, but not mushy. Do not over cook.

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the red pepper and onion to the skillet and sprinkle with garlic powder, parsley, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir to combine.
