Yields 6 servings
1 1/2 lbs (750 g) new potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch (12 mm) cubes
1/4 cup (57 g) butter
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 large green pepper, cut into 1/2-inch (12 mm) pieces

Instructions Cook potato cubes in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well.

Melt butter in large non-stick frying pan. Add potatoes and onion to pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until potatoes start to turn golden (about 5 minutes). Add peppers to pan and continue cooking and stirring until peppers are almost tender (about 5 minutes). Increase heat to high and cook, stirring constantly until potatoes are well browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Fold in 1 cup (250 mL) of Canadian Cheddar cheese into the potato mixture and spoon into serving bowl.

Top with remaining Canadian Cheddar cheese, cover and let stand 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
