In the same skillet, add the diced onions and bell peppers (if using). Sauté until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the Potatoes:
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and tender, about 10-15 minutes. If the potatoes start to stick or the skillet seems dry, you can add a little more oil or a splash of water.

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve hot directly from the skillet.
