Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Roasted green chiles (chopped, mild or spicy, to taste)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Half-and-half
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water, then bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
While the potatoes cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the half-and-half and chopped roasted green chiles. Heat the mixture gently until warmed through, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat.
Mash the potatoes in the pot using a potato masher or a fork until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).
Pour the warm green chile mixture over the potatoes and stir to combine. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish to complement your favorite proteins.
