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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into small, even-sized pieces (about 1/2-inch). Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Stir the peppers and onions into the potatoes. Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, and mix well to evenly coat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your homemade O'Brien Potatoes as a delicious side dish!
