Hash Browns for brunch seasoned with Marsha's Spice Mix


Naomi - my picky one - asked me to make hash browns for brunch.  She saw a commercial for them and said they looked great.   I have never made hash browns before.  Lauren loves them and always orders them when she goes out for breakfast.  I thought - why not?  It would be nice to get a complement from Naomi instead of the usual "stink eye" when I make something.  Thankfully she loved them.  These can easily be served with breakfast or as a side dish with dinner. 



Hash Browns


Ingredients

4 medium potatoes washed and cut into cubes (I use Yukon gold, they have thin skins and you do not have to peel them, you can also use red or white potatoes or a mix)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion chopped
1/2 large red pepper, chopped
1/2 large yellow pepper chopped (you can use green or orange peppers instead)
1 teaspoon Marsha's Spice Mix (recipe below)


Instructions




Cut the potatoes into even sized cubes
Place potatoes in a pot and just barley cover with water.
Place on high heat and bring to a boil.  Cook for about five minutes until potatoes a fork goes in easily. (you want them slightly firm)
Meanwhile cut the onions and the peppers.
Put three tablespoons olive oil in a large non stick frying pan on high heat
When the oil is hot add the onions and peppers stir for a minute and add potatoes and spice mix.
Let cook stirring gently every few minutes.  If you play with them too much the potatoes will turn to mush.
Cook about 15 minutes until browned.
