Potatoes O’Brien from Kelli’s Kitchen

I made a smoker for the blog this weekend. Yep, I learned how to make a smoker to use in the oven when I was in Girl Scouts – we learned some incredible stuff in my troop. Mrs. Rooney was our leader – and that woman was a genius! I just looked her up (their oldest son is famous and has been on 60 Minutes – in a good way He’s NOT Andy Rooney) finding out that she passed away in January. I had to sit a minute and cry a little. Mrs. Rooney taught me things in Girls Scouts I’ll never forget, like the smoker. I’m going to do a little tribute to her when I make that post. But now for the potatoes.

After I made the Ultimate Macaroni Salad, I had left over red, orange and yellow sweet bell pepper as I only used half. I wanted to use them up but not wanting to make the same old things I usually make I decided to let it percolate around for a day. That’s when I remember Potatoes O’Brien! I loved them once and made them years and years ago once. Yep, once but they were good. Mr. Picky Eater walked through the kitchen and made that face that says, “Yuk, I’m NOT going to like that”. Whatever, I was going to like them.

      It was great! In fact, MPE liked it so much he put them in a Ziplock bag and we had leftovers the next night and it was still good. I generally don’t care for leftover potatoes at all.

    Thank you for helping me mix it up in the kitchen over here, I’m in such a boring rut.
    The fam will love these, they gobble up potatoes (hash browns, twice baked, mashed, cubed and grilled) whenever they’re served but this fresh idea should do the trick!

I’m still learning to cook although I’m pretty good at it now but sometimes when people say some term that everyone seems to know, I feel like a dunce because I have no idea what they are talking about!

      Hey CJ – yep, we are fine. It was a wild evening though – so wild I’m going to post about it. The weather at our house was bad about 9PM last night but after that things slowly began to clear up. Have you seen the video of the 3 tornadoes at once that combined to make the huge one killing those 5 people? Wow!

        Thank goodness you guys are okay – I don’t think I saw the video you’re referring to but I did see the one with the weather channel guys that got thrown – Looked like two tornadoes coming at them at once.

          Yep that’s the tornado I was talking about – in that particular video the third one is just out of frame. Those weather center guys just got too close and you can’t fool with that kind of thing or it will get you. One of them is still in the hospital in Chickasha

    It is wonderful that someone like Mrs Rooney left such an impression in your life. I hope that one day when I am long gone, my memory will live on in a young woman’s life.

    Yummy looking potatoes too!

    Hi Kelli, These potatoes look so good! Can’t wait to try them. I was thinking about crumbling up some sausage and adding to them or serve on the side. What do you think? Any suggestions? Thanks have a wonderful and blessed day.

      I think that sausage would be wonderful with them! I generally cut up Eckrich sausage into coin sized pieces and fry up with them. We call it hash and eat it often!
