Smothered Potatoes

I bought a big bag of potatoes recently and was trying to think of different ways to use them up. I’d already made mashed potatoes and baked potatoes. I thought what about something like potato nachos? Smothered Potatoes were born. So easy. So good.

The potatoes bake for an hour in the oven in a bath of butter and water. The veggies are cooked separately on the stove. They come together under the broiler until everything is melty and hot.

I whipped up a batch one night when everyone was watching the baseball game on TV. We have a bunch of Blue Jay fans in the house. This platter was gone in under 5 minutes. No joke. I guess that means everyone approved of the recipe. Win for me!

    How to Make Smothered Potatoes

    Start by arranging the potato slices in a shallow greased casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour water and butter over the potato slices. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 1 hour at 350F.

    While the potatoes are baking, add the vegetable oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, green onions and green pepper. Sauté until the veggies are cooked.
