Fry the peppers in 1 tbsp of olive oil for a few minutes until beginning to soften.

Flatten the potatoes and cover with baking paper. Bake for 40 minutes and then check whether the potatoes are soft. When they are, remove the paper and put back into the oven for 20-30 minutes or until a golden crust has formed on the top.
