These are soooo good! Do not be afraid of the jalapeno, they do not end up at all spicy. (in fact, I often add more then one!) You will never go back to boring mashed potatoes again! I got this recipe from allrecipes, and was shocked that it has not been posted here.

My family's been making this tasty side dish for years, and I was surprised not to find something similar already here. Goes great with grilled meats, burgers, or sausages. Use any color of bell peppers you have, or a combo.

Steps:
- Peel potatoes, if desired (I like to leave the peel on) and cut into 1/2" dice.
- Heat olive oil in large skillet (you can reduce the amount of oil if using a non-stick skillet). Add the potatoes, spreading into a single layer. Don't stir yet! Let them get golden brown on one side.
- Stir the potatoes, and let them brown on another side. Stir again, adding the pepper and onion. Continue to cook until the onions and peppers are tender. If the potatoes are not done, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet until they're done.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose potatoes that are firm and about the same size so that they cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to help remove excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes or wedges for even cooking.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before cooking.
- Cook the potatoes over medium-high heat until they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking.
- To make ahead, cook the potatoes according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the potatoes in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.
Conclusion:
Cowboy potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them crispy or soft, spicy or mild, cowboy potatoes are sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
