Preparation steps

1.

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Peel the potatoes, rinse, cut into pieces and cook in salted water for about 25 minutes.

Cut off the tops of the peppers, remove the seeds, cut out white interior skins, rinse, shake dry and finely dice.

3.

Peel the onions, dice and sweat in a pan glazed with butter, then set aside.

Drain the potatoes. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, adding about half of the vegetable broth. Stir in the onions and 5 ounces of grated cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Fill the peppers with the mashed potatoes and put into a baking pan. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and sunflower seeds and pour in the remaining broth. Bake in a preheated oven (425°F) for about 35 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley.
