Preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and peppers and keep them. Scoop the pulp out of the tomatoes and chop it.
Mix the chopped pulp with the rice, the grated onion, the parsley, half the oil, salt and pepper.
Fill the tomatoes and peppers about three quarters full, as the rice will swell. Put the lids on.
Place them in a baking dish with the peeled potato wedges, the remaining oil, salt and 100 ml of water.
Bake for 70 minutes until the rice is cooked and everything is golden.
