Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside while soft and fluffy inside. They make a hearty and satisfying start to your day. Plus, baking them keeps things healthier without losing any flavor.
Directions
First, heat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease a large nonstick baking dish. In a big bowl, toss together the potatoes, bell peppers, onion, basil, and garlic. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, then sprinkle on some salt, black pepper, and paprika. Give everything a good mix so the veggies are nicely coated. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on the baking dish. Pop it in the oven and bake until the potatoes are golden and tender, which should take about 45 minutes to an hour. Once they’re done, take the dish out and sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over the top. Slide it back into the oven for another 5 minutes to let the cheese melt. Serve warm and enjoy!

Storage Tips
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven to bring back the crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to maintain their texture.
