"To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy."
-Bette Davis
The refrigerator light goes on...
Two peppers provide moderate heat in this dish. For those of you who prefer mild spiciness, a single pepper will be enough. Of course, if you want more heat, help yourself to three or more peppers. There is, however, a balance in the sweetness of the potatoes, the spiciness of the peppers, and the umami of the onions and garlic. This makes a perfect side dish for simple grilled fish, chicken or pork.
