A Different Baked Potato

I finally decided to cook last night since I had the correct leftovers to make one of my all time favorite recipes! I have no name for these glorious little potatoes, so maybe y'all can help me with them. They are a variation on the recipe my roommate freshman year gave me. Enjoy and see what you think!

You will need:
Potatoes (I prefer red, but go with your gut)
Bell Peppers (Whatever color. I prefer red and yellow)
1 yellow onion
Baby carrots or sliced carrots (Optional)
Olive Oil
Garlic, black pepper, Italian Seasoning, seasoned salt, etc.
(Pick the spices you like best. I use all of the above.)

Chop up potatoes, peppers, onions and carrots into bite-sized pieces and mix together in a large bowl. Add a generous amount of olive oil to completely cover each piece of ingredient. Season to taste. This usually means you can see the seasoning on each ingredient. Cover with foil and bake for one hour at 425 degrees. Baking time may vary according to how much you've made. A full 9"x13" pan usually takes an hour. Go from there.


This is a good recipe to pair with a chicken dish or even to mix in with ground beef. It is sort of a take on the mix of veggies you put in with a pot roast (sans pot roast). I only had orange peppers at home, so that's what I used. They make for a sweeter dish. That's why I prefer red and yellow peppers. But always go with your gut because that's where the food is going!
