Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix potatoes, onions, bell peppers, and margarine together. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Tips & Substitutions
For a delicious twist, try adding spices like cumin or smoked paprika to the potato mixture. If margarine isn't available, you can substitute with olive oil or butter for richer flavor. To ensure even cooking, slice the potatoes evenly and consider pre-cooking them slightly before mixing with other ingredients. This dish pairs well with Indian-spiced beans for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Guadalupe Potatoes as a hearty side dish alongside grilled meats or vegetarian options like curried beef and onions. They also make a fantastic base for a flavorful salad, topped with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil. For a complete meal, consider pairing with Indian spinach salad for a refreshing contrast.
