Preheat oven to 375* F.

3. Once the peppers are done boiling, drain the water and place them in a baking dish. Spoon rice mixture into the holes of the green peppers. Spoon any remaining rice into the baking dish. Colby and monterey Jack cheese can be sprinkled over the rice and peppers.

Potato Pancakes

This is a very good side dish. They went fast here!!

1 lb. baking potatoes , about two medium 2 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 small chopped onion 3/4 t. salt
3 egg whites 1/4 t. pepper
oil, for skillet

Peel potatoes; cut into chunks. Combine potatoes, onion, egg whites, flour, salt and pepper in food processor or blender ; (I used a blender, and it worked well) process until almost smooth. (mixture will appear grainy)

Heat large nonstick skillet 1 minute over medium heat. Add oil to the skillet. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons batter per patty into skillet. Cook the patties 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil with each batch.

I made 20 patties out of this recipe. It all depends on how much batter you spoon out per patty.
