Much better tasting than those frozen potatoes O’Brien and better than the ones you get served at restaurants. Try making them! We would use a bit more salt in this house, but I live with salt freaks…and pimentos tend to actually come in jars and be found near the olives in most grocery stores.
Potatoes O’Brien
5 medium baking potatoes, 2 lbs.
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 canned pimiento, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 teaspoon chopped parsley
Wash and pare potatoes thinly and cut into ¾-inch dice. Fry in deep fat heated to 360° F. until golden brown; drain. Melt butter in a skillet and sauté the onion until soft and yellow. Add potatoes and pimiento and toss about until well mixed and until hot through. Add seasonings, turn into a hot serving dish and sprinkle with chopped parsley. 5 servings.
If preferred, the potatoes may be sliced and pan-fried rather than fried in deep fat, adding the onion and pimiento the last few minutes of cooking. The Modern Family Cookbook
