Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sauté the chopped onion and green pepper for about 3 minutes.
- Add the diced potatoes and sauté for about five minutes.
- Add the paprika and stir to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Add the diced tomato, salt, pepper, and enough water to barely cover the ingredients.
- Reduce heat, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the water is almost absorbed.
- Drain any excess liquid before serving if necessary.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme or rosemary. You can substitute the green pepper with red or yellow peppers for a sweeter taste. If you want a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or a dollop of sour cream when serving. If you have leftover vegetables, toss them in for a heartier dish, or incorporate them into Vegan recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Paprika potatoes are a versatile side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables. For a complete meal, serve alongside a fresh salad or with a dollop of Aunt Arpie'S Sauerkraut for a tangy contrast. They also make a comforting addition to brunch, served with eggs or as part of a hearty breakfast spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a saucepan over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent sticking. You can also microwave them in a covered dish, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.
