Grandma Homer's Potatoes

I remember watching my Grandma Homer make this recipe when we were at their house for dinner one night. I was probably 12 or 13. She talked to me while she cooked and I love her and miss her. It was a simple recipe so it was easy to remember later.

about 6 potatoes cut into 1/8" disks, then halved
1 onion - sliced in half, then slender slices - to make long thin pieces
1 green pepper - long thin pieces
seasoning salt
1/4 cup oil.

In coverd fry pan. heat oil, then on med heat, fry up potatoes, onions and pepper together, and season with seasoning salt. cover occaisionally to cook though, but keep stirring, lifting from pan to prevent burn
