Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup diced onion
  • 3/4 cup diced peppers, fresh or frozen, thawed
  • 2 cups canned diced potatoes, drained, or 2 cups cooked or frozen diced potatoes
  • 2 cups canned corn, drained, or 2 cups fresh cut from the cob, or frozen corn
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste, optional
  • Hot sauce, optional

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When oil is hot, add onions and peppers and cook 7 to 8 minutes, until edges begin to brown. Stir occasionally.
  2. Stir in potatoes and corn and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes for canned vegetables. Refrigerated or frozen vegetables may take longer to heat through.
  3. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit 3 to 5 minutes for flavors to be absorbed.
  4. Season with pepper and salt, if using, stir well.
