This is a new favorite of mine. We make it a lot here in Italy, but my mom was the one who really showed me how this dish is done. It's really simple!
All you need are three things. How much you need depends on how many there are of you! I choose my favorite potato (any will do), two different colors of peppers, and an onion. For me, If you count one potato per person, you should be fine. Fill in the rest of the pieces: probably 1 pepper per potato and a quarter of an onion.
Cut up all these things into bite sized pieces! As big as you would want to eat. I like to cut up my onion small because I like my onions well done. Put these in a bowl and toss them with a bit of oil. Just enough to make everything look slightly glossy. At this point you can season your potatoes however you'd like.
On a baking sheet, spread out everything in one layer and bake it for about 10-15 min at about 350 degrees. Flip the contents on the pan once half way through. This will get you some nice soft potatoes and peppers! For me, after about 10 min, I switch the oven to broil at a nice high heat and move the potatoes slightly closer to the top. This makes them more crispy and look even better.
That's it. Seriously. Add your own flavor with different vegetables, different oils, different seasonings, etc. This side dish is extremely healthy too! Those potatoes are a great source of carbs and vitamins/minerals. Those colorful peppers are known to be high in antioxidants! Add a grilled chicken breast and a glass of milk and you are looking at a pretty perfect lunch/dinner.
