Green Chile Mashed Potatoes Recipes

MASHED POTATOES WITH GREEN CHILE QUESO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons of salt and cover by a few inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until a paring knife inserted in the center meets no resistance.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the hot milk and increase the heat to high, cooking until the milk has thickened and the flour taste has been cooked out, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Monterey Jack cheese until smooth and melted. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and poblano chile and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the potatoes well, and then return to the pot over low heat to dry out. When the potatoes turn white and become dry, pass them through a ricer into a large glass bowl. Gently combine the potatoes with the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and the warm cream, using a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and fill with the cheese sauce. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

GREEN CHILE MASHERS

Steps:

• Heat a grill or broiler to medium-low. Rub the peppers lightly with the canola oil and put on a sheet pan. Roast the peppers until blackened, then transfer them to a paper bag or thick plastic bag to steam. When cool enough to handle, peel and remove the seeds, then dice. Set aside.
• Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover with salted water. Cook the potatoes over medium-low heat until fork tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. When tender, drain and return the potatoes to the pot. Add the sour cream, milk, butter, pepper jack, salt, pepper, and the diced peppers. Mash by hand with a potato masher and adjust seasoning, if needed. Hold warm until ready to serve. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro and cotija, if desired.

GREEN CHILE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• If using fresh chiles: Put the chiles onto a baking sheet covered in foil, and place the sheet under a broiler, keeping a close eye on the chiles. Using stainless steel tongs, turn each chile over periodically until they are blackened all over. Put them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap, let it sit for 10 minutes. Carefully unwrap the bowl (hot steam will come out) and, when the chiles have cooled slightly, peel off all of the black skin. Cut out the stem and seeds, dice the chiles and set them aside. (If you are using canned chiles, skip this step) Bring 1 quart of water to a boil, add a generous handful of salt. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Boil in the salted water for about 10 minutes until potatoes are tender, or when you can pierce them easily with a fork. Drain the potatoes and mash with a potato masher. Alternately, run the potatoes through a food mill or potato ricer, Heat the milk and butter until the butter is melted, add salt and pepper, then the diced chiles (canned or fresh). Take off the heat and let it cool slightly. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until smooth; alternately use a hand mixter to blend or a food processor. Add the mixture to the mashed potatoes and stir until combined. Taste for seasoning and add salt/pepper if needed. Garnish with diced scallions and/or cilantro sprigs.
