- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium green pepper cored, seeded and chopped
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika

Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a bowl of cool water to keep them from browning.

- Add the oil to the skillet, add the potatoes and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn them over and cook until browned on the other side.
- Return the onions to the pan and spread them on top of the potatoes. Season well with salt, pepper, garlic and paprika and add ¼ cup water. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Serve.
