Zesty Potato Toss

1 1/2 to 2 pounds fingerling potatoes or red skin baby potatoes

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and cut into thin strips

1 Italian mild green pepper, cubanelle, seeded and thinly sliced

1 medium yellow skinned onion, thinly sliced

4 large cloves garlic, cracked away from skin

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1.5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.

Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left hole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process.

If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.


Cover a large cookie sheet with foil.

Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes.

Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer

Season with salt and pepper.

Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges.

Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes.

When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
