Preparation
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into small, even cubes. Do the same with the bell pepper and onion.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the potato cubes and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing for about 3-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer and cook without stirring for a few minutes to allow them to crisp up.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture occasionally for about 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat once the potatoes reach your desired level of crispiness. Toss in fresh herbs if desired.
- Transfer your Potatoes O'Brien to a serving dish and enjoy!
Notes
For optimal texture, use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold. Parboiling ensures even cooking and crispy finish. Adjust vegetables as desired.
