Potatoes O’Brien
Made with crispy cubed potato, caramelized onions, soft bell peppers, and seasoned with garlic, Potatoes O'Brien are buttery, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
- 1 large yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper seeded, ribs removed, and finely diced
- 1 small green bell pepper seeded, ribs removed, and finely diced
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes diced into ½ inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more as needed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup water
Instructions
- In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil with 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-high heat until the butter has melted. Once the butter melts, add the diced onion and peppers and sauté over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they just begin to caramelize. Remove peppers and onions from the skillet and place them on a clean plate.
- To the same skillet, add the remaining oil and butter, and let the butter melt. Once melted, add the potatoes, then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and toss to coat.
- Add the water, then cover the pan with a lid. Lower the heat to medium and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring several times to keep the potatoes from over-browning.
- Once the potatoes are fork-tender, remove the lid and raise the heat to high. Cook for 1-2 minutes, letting the liquid evaporate and the potatoes crisp up.
- Add the onion and pepper mixture back to the skillet, toss to coat, and cook for 1 minute until warmed through.
- Turn off the heat, taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Notes
Potatoes: While you can use peeled russet potatoes or red potatoes, gold or white potatoes, like Yukon Gold are best, as they are buttery and creamy.
Storage: Store leftover cooled potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the potatoes in a dry skillet, to retain their crispy texture and warm through.
