I modified based on pantry item abailability - I loved the flavour of these potatoes based on my mods - two peeled 2" peeled cubed russet potatoes, a tired looking yellow pepper and a tired looking medium cooking onion cubed roughly, a half packet of dry onion soup mix, a 1/4 packet of dry Knorr tomato vegetable soup mix, and glugged enough olive oil over the mixture to make it cook (about 1/4 cup). I used a 8 x 9" glass dish and cooked it for appox 1 h 15 mins and shuffled the mixture about twice. Very yummy - it was served with grilled chimichuri marinated beef short ribs and broiled asparagus w/ steak spice and parmesan cheese - it was so so yummy!!! Thanks for the recipe idea!

We LOVED this recipe! I had just put chicken in the oven & peeled about 3 small potatoes when I said to DH, "I wish I knew what to do with these potaotes. I'm so sick of fried & mashed." He got The Look & said, "They're not for the chicken recipe?" So I jumped on Zaar & here you are! Cj to the rescue! These were so easy & with ingredients already on hand. My only forced substitution was not having regular onion soup mix. I only had Beefy Onion flavor. But if it was still that good with chicken, I can't wait to taste them with beef! I didn't mind using the margarine, as DH accidentally bought me several boxes of margarine sticks instead of butter & I've been trying to use them up. I was down to 1/4 cup so I used that & filled in the rest with olive oil. I also had already peeled the potatoes but will leave the skin on next time. This was a hands-down family favorite for us. Thanks so much for sharing, Cj! I'll be serving this at our next get-together. :)

VERY easy and VERY tasty! We thought that they were JUST a little salty - from the onion soup mix maybe. But nevertheless, we DID enjoy them! I also used olive oil instead of margarine, and only about 1/4 cup as we watch our fat intake! Made for Easy does it in the Photo's Forum and very much enjoyed! Thanks! FT:-)
