Tasty Scalloped Potatoes with Peppers Recipe
Ingredients
Directions
- Cook the potatoes in boiling water with the salt for about 10 minutes, drain and set aside. Note: The potatoes are thin so they may cook faster. Don’t over cook or they will fall apart.
- Cook the onions and garlic in a medium heaving skillet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Drain the roasted peppers from the jar and slice them into your desired size. Add them to the onions and garlic to heat them through.
- Grease a medium oven safe deep dish with the remaining olive oil. Begin layering first with half of the potatoes, then top evenly with 1/2 of the onions and 1/2 of cheese.
- Add salt and pepper between layers if desired. Finish the remaining layer and top with the rest of cheese.
- Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.

Frequently Asked Questions
You can use any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, gouda, or fontina. For a dairy-free option, consider using a vegan cheese alternative that melts similarly.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave in short intervals, stirring occasionally.
If your potatoes are too soft and falling apart, try reducing the boiling time to just 5 minutes. Thinly sliced potatoes cook quickly, and it's crucial to monitor them closely to prevent overcooking.
