  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Step 1

Rinse your potatoes thoroughly and thinly slice them as well as the onion and red bell pepper. Set them aside. Next, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Once heated, add the onion and red bell pepper. Saute them until caramelized, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. After this, add another tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet, then add the sliced potatoes. Arrange them at the bottom and let them sit for five minutes.
