1 tbsp Parkey margarine
1/2 lb Velveeta pasteurized process cheese spread, cubed
1/4 cup milk
3 cups chopped cooked potatoes

1/4 tsp salt

Saute green pepper and onion in margarine. Add process cheese spread and milk; stir until completely melted. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly and heated through.
