Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bag of baby potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 Tbsp half and half
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced into small pieces
  • ½ cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • Kosher Salt or Sea Salt to taste
  • Black Pepper to taste
  • 2 tsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees
  • Place bell peppers onto a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to combine. Spread peppers evenly across the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the skins start to char and blister, flipping once in between. Remove and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook for 10-15 minutes or until soft. Drain the water and place in a bowl.
  • Mash the potatoes with a masher or fork, leaving some small chunks—you don't want them thoroughly mashed.
  • While the potatoes are hot, stir the butter until thoroughly melted, then add the half and half. You may need more or less depending on the size of your potatoes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Fold in the cooked peppers.
  • Gently mix in the mozzarella
