Hash Brown Potato Melt

1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion finely chopped
2 medium size sweet green peppers cored, seeded and coarsely chopped
3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (about a 20 ounce package)
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded medium sharp low fat cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
1/8 teaspoon each salt and black pepper


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12 inch ovenproof skillet over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add the onion and green peppers and saute stirring occasionally for 5 minutes or til limp.
Stir in the potatoes and add the remaining oil, then flatten the mixture to a uniform thickness. Reduce heat to moderately low and cook uncovered without stirring for 5 minutes.

Mix the milk, cheese, salt and black pepper in a small bowl, pour over the potato mixture and transfer to the oven.

Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes or til the potatoes are tender, bubbling and tipped with brown. Serves 4
