Cheesy Potatoes
Cheesy Potatoes combines boiled white or red potatoes with shredded cheddar, diced bell peppers, and onions, baked until the cheese melts and creates a warm, savory side dish. The potatoes maintain a tender but firm texture, complemented by the softness of cooked peppers and onions. Seasoned simply with salt and black pepper, this dish serves well at breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Ingredients
- 10 white potato about 3 ½ to 4 pounds, or red potatoes
- 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded, mild
- ½ cup green bell pepper or red bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup yellow onion diced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper coarsely ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the unpeeled, whole potatoes in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are still firm, but not soft. Drain and cool.
- Depending on your preference, leave the skin on the potatoes or peel them. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch chunks and add to a large bowl. Toss the potatoes with the cheese, bell peppers, and onions, and season with the kosher salt and pepper.
- Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the potato and cheese mixture into the baking dish, cover tightly with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 5 minutes more. Serve hot for breakfast, brunch, or as a dinner side dish.
