Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 2 lbs boiling potatoes, pared, quartered
• 12 ounces beer
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/3 cup chopped green pepper
• 1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper, to taste

Recipe

• 1 in a covered saucepan, boil the potatoes in the beer and stock until just tender. (don't overcook them to soft).
• 2 remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, save the boiling liquid in the saucepan, and chop into small pieces to fry. (chopped finer will produce great hash browns!).
• 3 add onion and green pepper to the saucepan and simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes, or until tender, and drain. (add water or stock if necessary to keep from scorching).
• 4 mix the potatoes into the drained onions and green pepper and season with the salt and pepper.
• 5 in a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil until very hot and beginning to brown.
• 6 add the potato mixture and cook over medium heat turning occasionally until browned.
