- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
- Sauté the Bacon and Veggies: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion is softened. Add the crumbled bacon, paprika, salt, and black pepper, and stir everything together.
