This was a grand idea on Matt’s part, stuffing raw red peppers with homemade mashed potatoes. The sweet and crunchy pepper makes a healthy bowl to hold the creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. Pretty healthy side, too.<\/p>\n

Mashed Potato-Stuffed Peppers<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

Makes 4 servings<\/p>\n

2 red peppers, sliced in half lengthwise (remove stem and seeds)
4 red potatoes (I call them new potatoes)
Salt and pepper
Garlic and onion powder
1-2 TB margarine\/butter
1\/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1\/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
1\/4 cup mushrooms, chopped<\/p>\n

In a pot of salted water, boil the potatoes until tender. In a pan, saute mushrooms in 1 TB of butter\/margarine for a few minutes, until tender. <\/p>\n

Drain water from the pot. Using a potato masher or a wooden spoon (or mixer), mash potatoes. <\/p>\n

Add salt and pepper, seasonings, margarine\/butter, and milk. Stir. Fold in mushrooms and chives. Stuff peppers and serve soon after.<\/p>\n

This can easily be made ahead of time for a dinner party (big or small) by preparing the potatoes and putting them in a large, covered bowl to keep warm. This was tasty, delicious, and I can’t wait to see what other varieties of mashed potatoes we can come up with. Great job, Matt. Perfect with salmon and crab cakes!<\/p>\n

Hope your Tuesday is looking sunny. Happy eating!
