# How To Make It:
01 - Place diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly tender. Drain well and set aside.
02 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the partially cooked potatoes and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
03 - Push potatoes to one side of the pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the empty space, then add bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-6 minutes until vegetables soften and develop slight color.
04 - Stir in garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
05 - Add chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Do not overcook to maintain vibrant color.
06 - Mix everything together thoroughly. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste, ensuring all components are well incorporated.
07 - Transfer to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot, offering hot sauce on the side for those who prefer extra heat.
