Heat oven to 375°F. Halve potatoes lengthwise and place, cut side up, directly on the oven rack. Roast until entire cut surface of potatoes has a golden-brown crust and the tip of a paring knife easily pierces the undersides, about 45 minutes. Let potatoes cool until they are easy to handle, then cut into large dice (you should have about 8 cups).

Melt butter with oil in a large, heavy frying pan over medium-high heat. When mixture foams, add bell pepper and shallots. Cook until vegetables are softened and edges are beginning to color, about 3 minutes.

Add potatoes, tossing to coat, and cook until heated through, about 6 to 8 minutes. Turn them only once or twice so that they have a chance to get crisp. Liberally season with salt and pepper, and toss with parsley.
