Ingredients

3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, diced
½ medium red bell pepper, diced
½ medium green bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, or to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pierce potatoes with a fork and place on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Dice potatoes, leaving the skin on.
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.
