chipotle roasted potatoes

Updated on Jul 16, 2014

This was one of my entries for the Ready, Set, Cook #16 cooking contest (on another site). I tried to select ingredients that represent a few continents to create a wonderful side dish of tender roasted potatoes and portabella mushrooms that get a lot of flavor from sweet onions and bell peppers strips, all brushed with savory seasonings. And the addition of dried chipotle pepper adds a little heat (or more, depending on how much you wish to add). When making this dish, try a mix of half cream-skinned and half red-skinned fingerling potatoes for added color and appeal.

How To Make chipotle roasted potatoes

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Step 2
    Add potatoes, mushrooms, onions and bell pepper strips to a gallon-size zip-lock bag, and set aside.
  • Step 3
    Mix together olive oil, garlic, sea salt, pepper, basil, and ground chipotle chile. Pour over vegetables in the zip-lock bag. Seal bag and shake well to thoroughly coat all the vegetables. (Feel free to increase or decrease any of the seasonings to suit your individual taste buds.)
  • Step 4
    Add coated vegetables to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Roast at 450° for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle Swiss cheese on top and return to oven for another 3-5 minutes, or just until cheese begins to melt. Serve while still hot.
