Fried Potatoes with Bell Pepper
Serve up a fragrant, golden skillet of potatoes for lunch or dinner! This lovely, tasty, aromatic — and slightly spicy — take on everyone's favorite fried potatoes will please the whole family. It's easy and simple to make. Use fresh tomatoes, or swap in hrenoder (a spicy horseradish-and-tomato relish). Bell pepper is best fresh, but frozen works just fine if that's what you have. After trying these potatoes, my family and I agreed this dish would become one of our all-time favorite ways to cook fried potatoes, because every ingredient complements the others perfectly!
