potatoes o'brien & cabbage

happy st. patricks day!
tonight i decided to make potatoes o'brien & cabbage to satisfy the irish in me & my growling stomach. it was very tasty & will be served along side the corned beef i made the hubs (i'm not a fan of corned beef or the points that i'm sure are in there somewhere). but if you're like me & can live without meat at dinnertime, it's certainly filling enough!

3 large potatoes
1 green pepper, seeded & diced
1 red pepper, seeded & diced
1 large onion, diced
1/2 head of cabbage, chopped
salt & pepper, to taste

You can boil the potatoes the traditional way, or you can nuke them in the microwave like I do for 8-9 minutes until a fork can easily slide into them. Let cool & cut into 1 inch bites.
In a large skillet spray olive oil and add onion, peppers & potatoes. Add salt & pepper to taste. Cook over medium high heat until potatoes brown and onions are translucent.
In a separate skillet, spray olive oil & add cabbage. Cook until cabbage is "sweet" (I also like it browned a bit). Mix in with potatoes at end of cooking.

*I cook the cabbage separately becuase otherwise the skillet is too crowded & not everything cooks evenly.

POINTS value: 4 for 1 cup. I try to fill the cup up with mostly potatoes since that's where all of your points are, then add the veggies & cabbage afterwards since they are "free."
