Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Green chiles
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.
In a large pot, boil water with a pinch of salt. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic and finely chop the green chiles.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and green chiles, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the oil, garlic, and chiles.
Season with salt and black pepper. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Add the butter to the skillet and stir until melted and coated evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 3-5 minutes.
Carefully remove the lid and check to ensure the cheese has melted completely. Turn off the heat.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
