Potato and Green Pepper Skillet

Potatoes, there are so many ways to fix them and since we eat our fair share of them I am always looking and thinking of new ways to prepare them. I also love the flavor of celery salt, which I have just started using.

So when I wanted to serve simple potatoes on Sunday evening I decided to add a little celery salt and paprika to my potatoes to see what I would come up with. Since our garden has produced a fair amount of green peppers this year, I decided to add some of this to my potato skillet. I also threw in some onion and garlic for a little more flavor.

To be honest I wasn't sure if I would come up with anything that would be edible, but the flavors of this potato skillet was quite delicious. My guys both took seconds of this dish and I would say that says it all. Great side dish that will go with just about any meal you can come up with.
