Bell pepper stuffed with spicy mashed potato

There are different colours' Bell Peppers or capsicums are available but at our place, the green one is the most popular. In fact, other than green bell peppers, different colours bell peppers were not available in the market before a decade but as the demand increased now yellow and red bell peppers are also available, but only at some selected places and very expensive also.

Apart from green capsicum, I rarely use capsicum of other colors. Here a stuffed bell pepper recipe was on my list for a long time so today I decided to prepare this.
