Tools

First, wash the peppers, dry them well, then cut them in half and remove the green stem, white filaments, and seeds inside. Now cut the peppers into strips of the desired thickness, possibly keeping them the same size, and place them in a bowl. Peel the potatoes and cut them into slices not too thin. Do the same with the onion.
In a large pan, pour the extra virgin olive oil and heat it; add the onion first, letting it wilt, then add the potatoes and red peppers. Season with salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
Cook the vegetables, stirring gently with a wooden spoon, being careful not to break the potatoes. Adjust the salt and continue cooking until the ingredients are well cooked; it will take about 20-30 minutes. Once ready, remove from heat and serve the potatoes and peppers hot with some fresh basil leaves.

It’s recommended to consume immediately, but you can store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for a couple of days.

You can use peppers of any color you prefer. I chose red because they were the only ones I had at home.
