Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons salted butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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.
