- Substitute sweet potatoes for Yukon gold potatoes to add a subtle sweetness.
- Try squash or bell peppers in place of zucchini for a different vegetable mix.

- Slice potatoes about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking and a nice sear.

- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into chunks

For Garnish (Optional):

Instructions
- Preheat Your Griddle: Start by preheating your Blackstone griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil. It should sizzle slightly when you add the potatoes, ensuring a good sear.
- Cook the Potatoes: Add the thinly sliced Yukon gold potatoes to the griddle or skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt over the potatoes evenly. Let them cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, so they soften and develop a nice crispy texture.

- Mix in the Veggies: Toss in the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir everything together well, and continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften but still retain a bit of crunch.
- Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors and ensure everything is heated through.
