Indian Poblano Potato Poppers

My husband is a whiz in the kitchen. He can rumage through the pantry and fridge and come up with the most amazing things. Like these pepper/potato snacks. So yummy and so easy.

Indian Poblano Potato Poppers

2 large poblano peppers
2 medium baking potatoes
cheddar cheese
garam masala

Slice potatoes into 1/4 inch thick slices. Cut polbanos in half, flatten out, then cut into pieces the same size as potato slices. Top potatoes with peppers. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft. Remove from oven and top each potato with a slice of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with garam masala. Return potatoes to oven until cheese is melted.
