A delicious recipe from Divya Lakshmi. Peppers stuffed with mashed potatoes

  • Combine the potatoes, 3 tablespoonfuls of olive oil, ground pepper, 1 teaspoonful of salt, chilli flakes, fresh herbs, garlic powder and corn flour in a large bowl and mix. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Cut each bell pepper horizontally into halves and remove the seeds. Sprinkle each half with the remaining salt and fill with the potato mixture.
  • In a non-stick frying pan, heat enough oil for shallow frying, then add the stuffed peppers. Fry the bottoms, then carefully turn upside down and fry the top of the potato filling until golden brown.
  • Serve warm. Enjoy! Tip: these peppers pair well with any rice-based side dish.
