O'Brien potatoes
Although the origin of the name is vague, it seems to come from the longtime association between the Irish and potatoes. The dish consists of diced potatoes (sometimes precooked) that are fried with chopped onions and
PIMIENTOS until the potatoes are crisp and brown. Some variations use sweet red or green peppers instead of
PIMIENTOs.
