Ingredients
potatoes
1 1/2 lbs (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
salt
to taste
vegetable oil
3 tablespoons (for frying)
onion
1/3 cup (minced)
fresh ground pepper

1 cup (diced)

Instructions
1
Begin by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for 1 to 2 minutes to partially cook them. Drain and set aside.
2
In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the drained potato cubes. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally and shaking the pan to prevent sticking, until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 10 minutes.
3
Once the potatoes are golden, add the minced onion, along with salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Stir well to incorporate. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes.
4
Next, add the diced green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook while stirring for about 3 minutes until the green pepper softens slightly.
5
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, coating the potato mixture with creamy richness. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
6
Finally, stir in the diced pimentos (or red bell pepper) and mix well. Remove from heat and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
