How to Make Awesome Red Potatoes

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped, and sauté for 4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1 pound of small red potatoes, halved or quartered if large, to the skillet. Sauté for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of vegetable broth and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
  5. Pour the broth mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Uncover the skillet and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed and the potatoes are slightly browned.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
