Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet.

02

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Dice potatoes, leaving the skin on.

03

Step

Heat a large cast iron frying pan or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil. When hot, add onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Saute until veggies have softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add potatoes, butter, thyme, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Top with parsley.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the Cajun seasoning.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini.
If you don't have baked potatoes on hand, you can boil the potatoes until tender before dicing and frying.
