Potatoes O'Brien
This is Potatoes O’Brien. Its not a British dish I am afraid. Its very North American. I researched the history of it and came up with this.
“The dish has been claimed to originate in the early 1900s from a Boston restaurant known as Jerome’s and from a Manhattan restaurant known as Jack’s during the same time period.”
This is a pretty basic version, using only salt and pepper as seasoning. You could also add garlic powder and or paprika. I added some paprika. I like the colour it adds to potatoes when you are frying them.
Basically it is like a potato hash, except it doesn’t use already cooked potatoes. You peel and dice raw potatoes and add them to some hot fat, along with chopped onion and the seasoning.
The recipe also called for chopped pimento, or jarred roasted peppers. I didn’t have any of those. You can also use chopped red, and/or green peppers in their place, which is what I did.
Its all personal preference really. Some people like them darker, and some lighter.
- 450g peeled, diced potatoes (2 cups)
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 TBS cooking oil
- 57ml jar of chopped roasted peppers (2 ounces) (alternately you can use 75g diced red or green pepper (1/3 cup))
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add the diced potatoes, onions and seasoning. (I like to add a sprinkle of paprika as well.) Cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, for about 15 minutes, or until the potato is tender and browned. Add the chopped roasted peppers and heat through. If you are using fresh peppers, you can add them at the same time as you add everything else. Such an easy and forgiving dish!
There are only two of us and so we had leftovers. I divided them into foil packs yesterday, sprinkled them with cheese and then reheated them on our outdoor grill. Even better. We had them with BBQ’ed Pork Chops and grilled Cauliflower and Broccoli Cheese. So Yummy!
