Fry until fragrant. Push to one side again and add in the bell peppers. Fry for a few minutes until they begin to soften.

Note
Keep the heat at a steady medium so the potatoes have time to soften without burning.
Stir occasionally, but don’t over-stir — letting the hash sit for a few minutes helps develop better flavor and texture.
A cast-iron or heavy skillet works best for even cooking and a slightly crisp finish.
Taste and adjust seasoning near the end, especially salt and BBQ sauce, as different brands vary in sweetness and smokiness.
This is a forgiving recipe — if it looks a little dry, a small splash of water or broth will bring everything together nicely.
Serve straight from the skillet for the best texture and flavor.
