WOW !! what a super flavoursome dish, so easy to make. I'm sure this potato mix would be just fine as it is, but, the peppers add to it well and enhances the dish. Even my fusspot daughter would eat this. I will cook this again for when all the family arrive here next week. So good I've added it to my cookbook. I photographed the dish before the final stage, I roasted (baked) the dish on the B.B.Q. I did add a 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the recipe but apart from that made as recipe. Thank Pat, thats one I owe you. UPDATE. I cooked just the potato masala as a side dish for a curry feast this week. Family and friends went mad over it, there was none left.

This is soooo good. The filling is terrific by itself too and I was eating some of the leftover filling all by itself with a glass of wine. I love how the taste comes together with peppers baked this way. I used tiny sweet red and yellow peppers. I also used 1/2 of regular green pepper - this one I just mounded the filling on top and it worked out fine. This recipe goes so well with chilled crisp white wine. This one is a keeper for sure! Thanks for posting this recipe.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
