Cheesy Potato Skillet Recipe
Components:
- 4 medium-sized russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped and skinned
- One cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or any other type of cheese)
- One little onion, chopped
- One chopped bell pepper, any colour
- two minced garlic cloves
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- One teaspoon of paprika
- One-half teaspoon of garlic powder
- One-half teaspoon of onion powder
- To taste, add salt and black pepper.
- Two to three chopped green onions (optional for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)
Guidelines:
- Warm up the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium heat with the olive oil.
- Cook the Potatoes: Fill the skillet with cubed potatoes. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring periodically, or until they begin to turn brown and soften. You can put a lid on the skillet and cook them for a few minutes if you’d like.
- Add Vegetables: Fill the skillet with the chopped onion and bell pepper. Simmer the vegetables for a further five minutes, or until they are tender.
- Season and Add Garlic: Add the paprika, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and minced garlic. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute or until fragrant.
- Cheese Addition: Evenly distribute the grated cheese across the potato mixture. After turning down the heat to low and covering the skillet, wait a few minutes for the cheese to melt and bubble.
- After garnishing, take the skillet off of the hob. If desired, garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro or parsley. Warm up the food.
Advice:
- Add fried bacon bits, crumbled sausage or any other desired toppings for more flavour.
- Spread out the potatoes in the skillet and allow them to sit without stirring for a few minutes to form a crispy coating if you like a crispier texture.
Savor your potato skillet with cheese! It tastes well served by itself or as a substantial dinner when combined with eggs or a side salad.
