No need to peel and dice potatoes, onion, or peppers. Buy frozen precut potatoes with chopped onion and bell pepper, such as Ore-Ida Potatoes O'Brien, to save several prep steps. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can grind the fennel seeds in a spice or coffee grinder, them combine them with the salt, pepper, and garlic
