Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby red potatoes, halved

1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup bell pepper, chopped (red or green)

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby red potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Halve them and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, stirring to combine with the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir well to ensure even coating.

        Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, stirring until everything is well mixed. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Cover and Cook: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the potatoes simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

            Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cover the skillet again and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and become gooey.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and serve hot as a delicious side dish or main feature. Enjoy your delightful smothered potatoes!
