Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1 Yellow onion, diced
  • 1 small Red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small Green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon Minced garlic
  • 2 lbs. Yukon Gold Potatoes, diced into ½ inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons Water or chicken broth

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Plate (for resting cooked vegetables)
  • Aluminum Foil or Lid

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Cook until they are soft and translucent. Reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute while stirring constantly. Transfer the cooked vegetables to a plate and cover to keep them warm.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown, stirring several times to ensure even cooking.
  5. Pour in the water or chicken broth and quickly cover the skillet with aluminum foil or a lid. Cook until the potatoes are tender, stirring several times to prevent over-browning.
  6. Once the potatoes are tender, add the cooked vegetables back to the skillet and stir to combine and warm through.
  7. Season the Potatoes O'Brien with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
