Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 medium red skin potatoes, peeled & boiled
2 large onions, sliced
6-8 medium mini sweet peppers, chopped into rings
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 c crumbled feta cheese
12 oz shredded cheddar cheese, (3 cups)
1 Tbsp kosher salt
1 Tbsp granulated garlic powder
2 tsp coarse black pepper
2 Tbsp chopped dried chive
6 Tbsp wondra flour, or all purpose
3/4 stick butter(6 tablespoons)
2 large cans evaporated milk
2 can(s) milk cans filled with water
2 c french fried onion rings

Steps:

  • 1. Peel red skin potatoes and add to a large pot, cover with water, add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt, and bring to a boil and cook about 15-20 minutes, until tip of a knife can be inserted into the center and easily released.Drain in colander, set aside to cool and can be sliced as needed. MAY ALSO USE 2 % MILK INSTEAD OF EVAPORATED MILK IF DESIRED.
  • 2. While potatoes are cooling add olive oil to a large skillet then add in the sliced onions and mini pepper rings, saute until onions become translucent and begin to wilt slightly. Remove and set aside.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 X13 size casserole dish with non stick cooking spray. Then slice enough cooled potatoes to cover the bottom of the casserole dish. Top with 1/3 of the cooked peppers and onions, then top with about 1/3 of the feta cheese.
  • 4. To make the sauce, add the butter to a large skillet or pot, then add in the wondra or all purpose flour, and stir or WHISK till flour and butter is blended together evenly over medium high heat. Add in the milk and water, and spices, whisk until mixture begins to thicken, & will coat the back of a spoon. Pour about 1/3 of sauce over the first layer of potatoes, then top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

  • 6. Top with French Fried Onion Rings, then place in preheated 350 degree F. oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until potatoes are hot throughout, and bubbly along edges, and cheese is melted on top.NOTE: TO PREVENT ONION RINGS FROM OVER BROWNING, ADD THEM ON TOP DURING THE LAST 15 MINUTES OF BAKING IN OVEN IF DESIRED.
