Coarsely chop the jacket potatoes. Clean, wash and cut the peppers into strips. Fry potatoes in hot oil for about 10 minutes until golden brown. Fry the paprika powder and the pepper strips for about 5 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Wash and cover medium-sized waxy potatoes and cook for about 20 minutes. Drain, quench, peel and let it cool down, preferably overnight. Do not cut the potatoes too small and fry them in a large pan in hot clarified butter or oil, first from one side until golden brown. Then turn and fry until done.
To make the potatoes nice and crispy, do not stir. Just turn them from time to time, so they don't break.
