Our testers loved this low-fat alternative to the traditional potato salad. Besides being easy to make and delicious, it can be served warm, at room temperature, or cold, which makes it perfect for every occasion from picnics to cabin fever potlucks.

Ingredients
2 pounds small red potatoes, halved or quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
several pinches dried thyme
1 sweet onion, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. 

In a bowl, toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon of oil and a pinch of thyme. Place in a single layer in the pan and roast for 15 minutes. 

In the empty potato bowl, combine green peppers, onions, and red peppers with remaining oil and a pinch of thyme. Add to roasting pan with potatoes, loosening potatoes and stirring mixture. Continue roasting, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes, or until potatoes are browned and tender and onions begins to caramelize. Spoon into a large bowl and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine vinegar, salt, black pepper, and another pinch of thyme. Add to potato mixture and stir to coat. Serve salad warm, cold, or at room temperature.

The "lower calorie" caught my eye! Looking forward to trying out this recipe! I'm always amazed at what the addition of a little vinegar does for many dishes. Thank you for sharing this!

Ms. Martin, This is a wonderful recipe, my mom & grandmother made the nearly identical salad when I was growing up in Upton, Mass. in the 50's. Thanks for reminding me how good Yankee recipes are ! (Note: they would add a bit of home made mayonaise.)

What is so special about aways using onion, garlic and other items to change the wonderful flavor of potatoes. These should be called "Onion-Potato-Peppers" or "Potato Onions"
