These are soooo good! Do not be afraid of the jalapeno, they do not end up at all spicy. (in fact, I often add more then one!) You will never go back to boring mashed potatoes again! I got this recipe from allrecipes, and was shocked that it has not been posted here.

My family's been making this tasty side dish for years, and I was surprised not to find something similar already here. Goes great with grilled meats, burgers, or sausages. Use any color of bell peppers you have, or a combo.

Categories     Potato

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium potatoes, scrubbed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/4 cup bell pepper, diced
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes, if desired (I like to leave the peel on) and cut into 1/2" dice.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet (you can reduce the amount of oil if using a non-stick skillet). Add the potatoes, spreading into a single layer. Don't stir yet! Let them get golden brown on one side.
  • Stir the potatoes, and let them brown on another side. Stir again, adding the pepper and onion. Continue to cook until the onions and peppers are tender. If the potatoes are not done, reduce heat to low and cover the skillet until they're done.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes: These varieties hold their shape well and have a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the crispy coating.
  • Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes: This will ensure that they cook evenly and get nice and crispy on all sides.
  • Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help to remove the excess starch and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the potatoes plenty of room to cook and crisp up.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many potatoes, they will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
  • Cook the potatoes in batches if necessary: If you have a large amount of potatoes, cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
  • Season the potatoes generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder or paprika, to taste.
  • Fry the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 10-15 minutes per side.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Cowboy potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they are packed with flavor. Whether you serve them with steak, chicken, or fish, or simply enjoy them on their own, cowboy potatoes are sure to be a hit.
