Roasted Potatoes with Peppers and Onions

roasted potatoes with peppers and onionsWho doesn’t love roasted potatoes?  Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.  They are so easy to make and are a great side dish.  It never fails, each time I make them, I eat half right out the baking sheet!  I can’t help it, this feeling reminds me of the Pringles slogan, “”Once you pop, you just can’t stop”.  They are just so delicious!  The key is to season these properly.  Adding a few pinches of salt at the very end, puts these potatoes over the top!  I always make these with Italian sausage.  I love that you can find so many varieties of sausages in your supermarket.  Definitely add your favorite, but make sure the flavors compliment the potatoes. Turn this into a complete meal by adding a side salad.

  • 3 lb pounds of cubed gold potatoes
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped green or red peppers
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worchestire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Heat oven to 375° F.  In a large bowl mix together all the listed ingredients; mix until the potatoes are well coated.  Transfer potatoes to a large baking sheet and spread out into a single layer.  Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

If you would like to turn this dish into a meal you can add Italian sausage:

  • 5 links Italian Sausage (hot or sweet, your choice)

Remove sausage meat from casings.  Cut each sausage link into 5 pieces, as shown below.  Bake sausages on a baking sheet until just cooked through, about 40 to 45  minutes.  If sausages have not browned, broil for a few minutes.  Blot the sausages with a paper towel to remove excess grease if needed.  Combine potatoes and sausages together and serve.
