To prepare, simply heat a little oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the contents of the package and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the peppers and onions are softened. You can add your favorite seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika during the cooking process. For a crispier texture, spread the mixture in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan. It can also be baked in the oven.
