- Serves:

4-6
ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 teaspoons garlic pepper seasoning
- 1⁄2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1⁄2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1⁄2 red bell pepper, diced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
directions
- Heat oil in a large, heavy non-stick skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add potatoes, then sprinkle generously with garlic pepper, italian seasoning, and a bit of the cayenne pepper adjusted to your heat preference. Stir gently once, but then allow the potatoes to crisp up for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
- Add bell peppers and onion, stir again, and let crisp. Continue cooking and stirring every couple minutes - don't stir too often, you want some nice crispy bits.
- Watch the heat - I keep mine on high because I want the liquid from the peppers and onions to evaporate without making the potatoes mushy. If your stove gets hotter than mine, though, you may need to turn it down a notch to keep it from burning. If the heat is too low, though, you'll end up with a mushy mess, so keep it as high as you can without it smoking.
- Keep cooking this way until the onion and peppers get nice and browned. You should have some nice crispy bits, and the overall color of the dish should deepen to a dark caramel brown as it cooks.
- Taste occasionally, add salt and spices as needed to taste.
- To complete as a Southwest breakfast - Serve hashbrowns covered in shredded Mexican-blend cheese, salsa, and two fried eggs.

I live on the coast of Florida, near St. Pete. Great seafood abounds here! Cooking good, family friendly meals is my passion, and my kids are as into it as I am. (My 3 year old cracks a mean egg!)
