Country Skillet Potatoes are tender potatoes, caramelized with onions, garlic and bell peppers. It's a great side dish for a breakfast or entree.
Heat 1 Tablespoon butter and ¾ Tablespoon olive oil in large skillet on Medium-High heat. Once butter melts,, add onions and red/green peppers. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Peppers and onions will soften and slightly "char" on the outside. Continue to stir occasionally.
While onions/peppers cook, peel and cube potatoes into ½"- ¾" cubes. When onions and peppers are done,, add potatoes to skillet. Season with salt/pepper.
Turn heat to Medium; put lid on skillet. Cook potatoes 10-12 minutes, stirring every 1-2 minutes. Steam will condense on inside of skillet lid and drip back into skillet to help cook potatoes. TIP: If it seems potatoes are sticking to skillet, add a small amount (1 Tablespoon or so) of water to help them steam/cook.
Potatoes are ready when they become fork-tender. They may need longer to become tender, depending on size of the cubes. If so, simply keep lid on skillet; let them cook a bit more until tender.
Once potatoes are fork-tender, remove skillet lid. Add remaining ½ Tablespoon butter and ¾ Tablespoon olive oil; gently stir to combine. Turn heat to HIGH; let potatoes cook (uncovered) 2-3 minutes, stirring often, to let them get crispy on the outside. Taste; if desired, season with additional salt and pepper. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
