Ingredients
  

  • 5 medium Yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced

Instructions
 

  • Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into equal ½ inch slices.

  • Add the cooked onions and bell peppers on top of the potatoes to the skillet.
  • Season with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
  • Pour the vegetable stock and cover the skillet. Reduce the heat and cook the ingredients for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Once the potatoes are cooked, take the skillet off the heat and serve.
