How to Make Potato Stuffed Red Bell Peppers

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the red bell peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes.
Boil or microwave the potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well and mash.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the cooked chorizo, sauteed onion and garlic, cheddar cheese, and spices. Mix well.
Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared red bell pepper halves.
Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and pour in about 1/2 cup of chicken broth.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through. If the peppers start to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
