- To prep. Peel potatoes, rinse under cold water, and dry with a towel.
- Dice all vegetables: potato, onion, tomato, and spicy pepper, and mince the garlic. (Tip: The larger your potato size, the longer the cook time.)
- Heat large skillet on medium heat, add oil and let heat up for 2-3 minutes.
- Add garlic. Let the Garlic cook in the oil for 1 minute before adding potatoes and salt.
- Add butter (optional) at this point so it can coat all the potatoes once we add them in next step.
