[quote=Anonymous]This is a DELICOUS recipe from Marcella Hazan's Essentials of Italian Cooking.  You'll also need some tomatoes  - I've used good quality canned whole peeled Italian tomatoes in this many times - comes out fine.  I usually put a lot more tomatoes in than called for - usually I dump in the whole 16 ounce can.  I also add an additional pepper. The critical thing is to peel the peppers.   This stew is fantastic with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

Potatoes with Onion, Tomato and Sweet Pepper 
 
1 sweet bell pepper
2 cups onion sliced thin
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tompatoes, peeled and chopped
Black Pepper
1 1/2 pound waxy boiling potatoes
salt
 
1. Remove seeds from pepper, peel and cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch wide strips
2. Choose a saute pan that can accommodate all the ingredients, put in the onions and olive pol, and turn to heat to medium. Cook, stirring until the onions wilt and become light gold, then add pepper. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, then add tomatoes with their juice, adjusting the heat to cook at a slow, but steady simmer. 
3. While tomatoes are cooking, peel the potatoes, wash them in cold water, and cut into 1-inch cubes. 
4. When the oil floates free of the tomatoes, add the potatoes, turn the heat down to very low, and cover the pan. Cook until the potatoes feel tender when prodded with a fork, about 30 minutes, depending on the potatoes. While cooking, turn the contents of the pan over from time to time. Add several grinding of pepper and correct for salt.
