Perky Potatoes O'brien

In a medium skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter, and add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Add 1/3 chopped green pepper, 1/3 chopped yellow pepper, 1/3 chopped red pepper, and 1 medium chopped onion. Saute until vegetables are translucent and beginning to brown?about 5 minutes, or so. Cover skillet to hold in heat, and set aside while you fry your potatoes. In a large, deep skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter, and add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Turn heat to high, and add 3 medium to large diced potatoes. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Stir potatoes to coat with butter and oil mixture. Reduce heat, cover with a lid, and cook until done?about 15 to 20 minutes. Lift lid, and stir occasionally, so that potatoes brown on all sides. Taste for salt and test for doneness with a fork. When the potatoes are brown and crisp, yet tender inside, they are done. Add the sauteed peppers and onions to the skillet of potatoes, and toss lightly. Pour your Potatoes O'Brien into a serving bowl, and serve immediately! These are beautiful, and very tasty!
