Ingredients

  • 4 medium, skin-on russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 cups mixed summer vegetables (such as onions, mushrooms, yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli, green beans, red peppers or green peppers), chopped

Directions

  1. CUT potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large pot and cover with water. Bring water to a boil and cook until a fork will easily pierce potatoes (about 5 minutes). Drain.
  2. HEAT 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add cooked potatoes and use a spatula to stir so that potatoes are coated with oil. Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper and garlic. Let potatoes sit, undisturbed for 4 minutes to crisp up on one side.
  3. REMOVE from heat. Transfer potatoes to an oven-safe casserole dish.
  4. PREHEAT broiler to high.
  5. HEAT remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium high heat. Add vegetables, stir to coat with oil, and sauté for 4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and cover immediately. Steam vegetables for 2 to 3 minutes until they are tender, but still a little crisp.
  6. TRANSFER vegetables to dish with cooked potatoes and top with cheese.
  7. PLACE the dish under broiler, about 4 inches from the heat. Cook until the cheese melts (about 2 minutes). Serve hot.
