Tips

  • Use Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe.
  • Cut potatoes to a uniform size for even cooking.
  • Rinse potatoes thoroughly to remove starch.
  • Dry potatoes well for better searing.
  • Don't be afraid to salt potatoes heavily.
  • You can use a pre-made spice blend if preferred.
  • Roughly chop onions and bell peppers to a similar size as the potatoes.
  • If the meat is very fatty, you may need to add extra oil for the potatoes.
  • Cook potatoes until 3/4 of the way done before adding other ingredients.
  • Scrape the bottom of the pot to incorporate flavor bits.
  • Do not overcook onions and peppers; they should retain some crunch.
  • If eggs are not setting, add a little water to the side to create steam.
  • If you don't have air conditioning, consider finishing the dish in the oven to avoid heating up the kitchen.
