Basilicata Home Fries

My father’s family came from Laurenzana, a small town in the hills of Basilicata.

Cut the potatoes into 1 inch pieces. Boil in salted water until slightly soft and drain. Fry green pepper in a hot dry pan until it starts to brown. Remove the pepper. Sweat the onions in oil with salt and black pepper then add the potatoes. Sprinkle liberally with powdered red pepper and fry, chopping with spatula until done with brown edges. Return the green peppers.

Left over, this is a good start for Potato and Egg Frittata.
