Master the classic Potatoes O'Brien recipe with our simple, flavorful guide. Perfectly crispy and delicious every time!
Equipment
- Large skillet
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes diced
- 1 large Onion chopped
- 1 Red bell pepper diced
- 1 Green bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Step 1 – Prep Your Ingredients
- Dice the potatoes, onions, and bell peppers. Keep them roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Heat the olive oil and melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Note: Using a combination of oil and butter allows the potatoes to get crispy without burning.
Step 2 – Cook the Potatoes
- Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer.
- Fry for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they start to turn golden brown.
- Warning: Don’t overcrowd the skillet, or your potatoes will steam rather than crisp!
Step 3 – Add the Vegetables
- Stir in the chopped onions and bell peppers.
- Continue to cook for another 10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the potatoes are crispy.
- Pro tip: Adding the vegetables after the potatoes ensures everything finishes cooking at the same time without any soggy bits.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some garlic powder or paprika over the potatoes before cooking.
- If you’re in a rush, parboil the diced potatoes for 5 minutes before frying to speed up the cooking process.
