Ingredients:

• 3 lb potatoes, sliced thin
• 1 yellow onion, sliced thin
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced thin
• 2 – 3 tbsp avocado oil, divided
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp bacon sea salt

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.

Step 2

After five minutes, flip the potatoes over using a spatula. Continue this until the potatoes are fully cooked. You can add more oil to avoid sticking. When the potatoes are almost done, season them with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp bacon sea salt. Mix well. Once everything is cooked, serve the potatoes immediately. Enjoy!
