Jasdip my potato dish

I saw you said you wanted to make it.

Well it is so so difficult! NOT!

One bag of frozen potatoes Obrien

One large Vidalia onion diced (sauteed or raw)

One package of smoked sausage sliced in to bite size rounds

One big hand full of grated cheese.

This can be done on the stove or in the oven, I personally prefer the oven since there's no need to be stirring.

I spray my casserole dish with olive oil, dump in all of the above ingredients sprinkle on some seasonings, stir, cover, stick in oven at 375 for about an hour, uncover, stir, put back in uncovered for about 10 minutes to brown.

Done.

You can use sweet onion if no Vidalia onions available. The potatoes Obrien does have onion and bell peppers in it but additional fresh makes it better.

I have been using a mild smoked sausage like eckridge.

There you have it, about as easy as it gets.

What are O'Brien frozen potatoes? Are they hash browns?
Shredded or cubed? Could I just cube fresh potatoes?

Sounds so good and very easy.

Last time I checked, Ore Ida makes those cubed hash browns.

That's a great idea for the leftovers, when ya' got any, that is. I cooked a med-lg roast for the three of us for dinner. DS works a late shift and he did major damage to it when he got in from work so there was only enough left for sandwiches for DH & I for lunch. We're in the midst of DIY remodel and this was a perfect easy to do, no-fuss dish. I made up the marinade and marinated o/night & plopped it in the crock pot the next day. Served it w/ stir fried green beans and some leftover potatoes that I pulled out of the refrig. Oh, and I left the roast whole. The marinade permeated the roast just fine. No doubt also because you cook the roast in the [other half] marinade also. Any way, it's a great dish; wish I had about ten more so easy & delicious meals to get us through this remodel.

Well, you can send all the baby reds to me & that takes care of half your problem. Seriously though, baby reds are fantastic just boiled skin on & served w/ butter, salt & pepper. Alternatively, they're also very good roasted w/ oil & garlic. I would even mash them, skin on. That's because I just love red potatoes. Reds aren't considered a good masher. A dish that I love but my family doesn't is to grate raw potatoes, tie them up in an old dishtowel & 'wring' the excess water out of them. Heat a nice OO in a saute pan & lay the potatoes in, mashing them into a flat pancake with a spatula. (Season w/ S & P) Cook until well browned & the potatoes on top are just starting to get soft. Flip them and just a couple of minutes before they're ready to come off the stove, top w/ crab or imitation crab, cubed fresh tomatoes & fresh (preferably) basil. Sounds like a weird combo, but it really is very good, my family's opinion not withstanding. Another thing I like to do is to grate cooked potatoes and mix into pancake batter. I usually use a pancake mix. Cook your potato pancakes & serve w/ butter & hot maple syrup or just applesauce. And then there's 'New Potatoes & Green Beans'. My mom made this a lot. Cook the baby reds w/ fresh green beans seasoned w/ either ham or bacon, some onion and water to cover.. This is one of those dishes that is good overcooked to the point that the potatoes are wanting to fall apart and even better heated up the next day as leftovers.

That dish looks wonderful, Lindsey!!! Very much reminiscent of the Hasselback potatoes. Last weekend I made rolls using the dish.

Thanks, Lindsey_CA! sheilajoyce, I guess mine is another version, because I added the cheese. I also used the convection feature on my oven, so reduced the baking time. As someone noted on the other thread, they're much like Hasselback potatoes, but easier--with the Hasselback potatoes one needs to be careful not to cut completely through the potato. Here's the link to the discussion on the other thread: Crispy Potato Roast I'm ashamed to admit that I ate three potatoes, and scraped every last bit of crispy crunchy cheddar cheese from the baking dish. :]

Jasdip, potatoes O'Brien are grated potatoes with peppers and onion. I had plain grated hash browns and added the onions and green peppers. I wasn't sure how Raven made hers, so I used turkey Italian sausage that I took out of the casing, crumbled and browned. Removed that from the pan and sauteed the onions in a little oil, added the potatoes and green peppers (mine were frozen)and the sausage. Covered it and cooked it on the stovetop a while and then covered it with mozzarella. Covered it again until the cheese melts. It's yummy! I'll make it again but try Raven's way next time. I'll use smoked sausage but I'll still brown it and saute the onions.

I think you can do it any way you want and it turns out pretty good LOL

yes there are generic potatoes obrien and there are ore ida, mine were the store brand, they are diced up potatoes with bellpeppers and onions in the bag with the potatoes. Not the shredded but diced potatoes.
I add the extra fresh onion especially when we have some of the good sweet Vidalias. If you use the smoked sausage you really do not need to cook it first it comes fully cooked and cooking it in the oven for an hour is fine if you brown it first that is a lot of cooking it may dry out. I do however (if I am not being lazy) saute the onions.

this is what the they look like

In searching for a picture to show you I found a ton of recipes using them LOL I created this one out of desperation one night, I started taking out stuff to see what I could make for dinner and that was what was available.LOL

oh yes you could use real potatoes I have also done that when I am not being lazy LOL can you tell I have been lazy lately! They will take a little longer to cook probably just check for doneness. I would put a little olive oil over it though.

I have made this but I prefer to use the stove top because I like to brown my sausage. We like it with Kielbasa) that I slice into "coins" first. We prefer the potatoes more browned and crispy too. The cheese goes on just before serving. My version is more of a "breakfast" skillet I guess. The above seems like it would be more of a casserole and wetter/softer?

In our area hash browns are what you get when the potatoes are shredded and country style are the cubed variety. I use the Ore Ida hash browns Raven posted.
