Ingredient notes
- Potatoes - I prefer using a combination of red and white baby potatoes. Russets and Yukon golds can also be used.
- Onions - Any variety works in this recipe - red, yellow, white.
- Sweet bell peppers - I used green peppers, but you can add a variety of colors with red, orange, or yellow peppers.
- Seasonings include dried thyme, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dried herbs work best. Add your favorites or use what you have on hand, such as parsley, basil, rosemary, or marjoram.
Step-by-step instructions
Please see the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces. The smallest baby potatoes can be left whole. Add to a 9x13 baking dish.
- Cut the peppers and onions into 1-inch pieces. Add to the baking dish. Toss together. (Image 1)
- Add the oil and seasonings. Toss to evenly coat the veggies. (Image 2)
- Bake for 40-50 minutes (stirring after 20-30 minutes) until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown.
Tips for recipe success
- Cut larger potatoes into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
- Cut the peppers and onions into larger pieces so they retain some texture and don't burn.
- Don't skimp on the amount of oil noted in the recipe. The potatoes need moisture to roast up beautifully. The oil also prevents the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
Serving ideas
- These potatoes are delicious with everything from breakfast to dinner.
- Serve with eggs and toast, pancakes or waffles, and quiche or frittatas.
- For dinner, serve with sausage, baked ham, corned beef, roast beef, pork, or chicken.
- Add leftover corned beef or ham to these potatoes for a delicious hash.
