These potatoes are just perfect! Creamy and velvety on the inside, with a nice crust from the seasonings on the outside. To serve two, I used bacon fat, 5 red potatoes (just bigger than golf ball size) and half of a white onion, cut in wedges. I skipped the green pepper, as we don't care for it. I used the oven method, and the potatoes were done after 45 minutes, with two stirs during baking. I was really pleased that nothing stuck to my baking dish, so these looked as beautiful on the plate as they did while cooking. DH liked these enough that he asked me to skip the mashed potatoes for thanksgiving, and serve these instead!
