How To Make potato-stuffed peppers

  • 1
    Prepare potatoes with milk and butter according to package directions. I cheat and use premade variety you get at the store or left over mashed potatoes for a meal.
  • 2
    Stir in dressing mix and season with pepper; set aside. Cut peppers in half length-wise; do not remove the tops. Remove stems and seeds. Place in an ungreased microwave-safe 13-in.x9 in. baking dish. Cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes.

    Spoon potatoes into pepper halves. Cover and microwave on high for 3-4 minutes or until peppers are tender. Sprinkle with cheese and paprika.
