Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup cooked mixed seafood (shrimp, squid, and mussels)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
