Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 4 ounces chèvre (goat cheese)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks, approximately 2 inches each. This ensures they cook evenly.
Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chipotle peppers and set aside. If you prefer extra heat, add more chipotle peppers as desired.
Drain the potatoes in a colander and return them to the hot pot. This helps remove any excess moisture and creates fluffier mashed potatoes.
Add the butter to the potatoes and mash using a potato masher or hand mixer until slightly smooth.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the milk until it's just heated (do not let it boil). Add the warm milk to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
Crumble the chèvre (goat cheese) into the potatoes and mix until fully incorporated and creamy.
Stir in the minced garlic, chipotle peppers, kosher salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the creamy, smoky, and tangy flavors!
