Notes

Shortcuts to prep ahead:

  1. Cut up all your veggies (onion, peppers, and garlic) the night before and store in a baggie in the refrigerator.
  2. Microwave your potatoes in advance. After you add them to the skillet, they will warm up quickly.
  3. Set your skillet and all cooking utensils on countertop ahead of time, so you can begin cooking immediately.
