Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium (about 2 lbs) Russet potatoes
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and dice them into 1/2-inch cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them soak for 5-10 minutes, then drain and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into small, even-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch). Set aside.
In a large, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron), heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid stirring too frequently to allow for proper browning.
Push the potatoes to one side of the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced bell peppers and onion to the empty side of the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly softened.
Stir the peppers and onions into the potatoes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to evenly coat.
Lower the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Transfer to a serving dish, and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade O'Brien Potatoes as a delicious side dish!
