Ingredients

  • 1 pinch + 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, divided, plus more to taste

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and chopped into bite-size cubes (about 3 cups)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more as needed

  • 1 small bell pepper (any color), chopped

  • 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)

  • 2 green onions, white and green parts chopped and kept separate (about 4 tablespoons total)

Directions

  • Add the potatoes to a large saucepot over high heat and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then season the water with a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes until fork tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and pat the potatoes dry. 
  • Place a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook without touching, until the bottom side is golden-brown and developing a light crust, about 3 minutes. 
  • Toss the potatoes and then add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pan with the peppers, sweet onions, and white parts of the green onions. Season with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and the black pepper, paprika, and rosemary. Stir to combine.
  • Saute, tossing occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the potatoes begin to get a light brown crust, about 5-8 minutes. Add the garlic. Cook until fragrant and very lightly golden but not browned, for 1 additional minute, adding another tablespoon or so of oil if anything is sticking to the pan.
  • Season to taste with additional salt if necessary, toss with the basil and green tops of the green onions, and serve.
