Smothered Potatoes

Soul food cooking is always best for me. Like smothered Potatoes you can eat them for breakfact,dinner, lunch, and supper time. so easy to cook. folks will just love to come and eat at you house because you always got something always cooking on the stove.

first thing is peel your potatoes. about 6 med size. well it's all types potatoes-. I choose the yellow gold ones.

 Slice them like this and place in a frying pan with 1/4 cup of oil turn them into the oil covering the potatoes adding salt and black pepper to taste

Adding 1 cup sliced Onions on top covering all the potatoes evenly.

Adding 1/2 cup each red and green sliced peppers. next covering the onions and potatoes. you can add more salt and black pepper if you like.

If you like it spicy you can add 1 chop jalapeno pepper.

Cover and place on low medium heat and let smothered about 10 mins.after 10 mins turn the top ingredients to the bottom of the pan and cook for 10 mins more or until tender.
