Peppered Potatoes

Peppered Potatoes - Serves 2
------------------------------

The other night we decided to have fish for dinner with boiled spuds and peas. But I didn't fancy just having normal boiled potatoes so I decided to experiment with what I could find in the fridge, and that's when I came up with this variation. It turned out quite nice and Amanda gave it her seal of approval. This would make a good snack on its own or as an accompaniment to another dish.

4 x Large potatoes peeled and cut into small chunks about 1.5cm squared.
1 x Large red pepper cut into thin strips.
1 x Large yellow pepper cut into thin strips.
2 x Large tomatoes cut into small chunks.
1 x Tablespoons of pine nuts.
1 x Table spoon of Spanish paprika.
1 x Pinch of salt.
1 x Tea spoon of olive oil.

Steps
------

1. Boil the potatoes in a pan until softened, but not too soft that they break up.

2. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan on a high heat and add the peppers. Fry until the peppers start to soften.

3. Drain the potatoes and add to the frying pan. Turn the heat to medium. Mix around well with the peppers.

4. Add the tomatoes and continue frying on the medium heat. The tomatoes will start to break down.

5. Add the salt and paprika. Mix this well into the mixture. Then add the pine nuts.

6. Continue frying for a few minutes longer then remove from the heat and serve.
