SOUTHWESTERN MASHED POTATOES

This is a side dish I created to go along with a salsa meatloaf I was making. You can adjust the peppers to make it spicier or milder, I found adjusting the chipotle powder made the biggest difference in heat.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h45m

Yield 1/2 cup, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk (a bit more or less to obtain your desired consistency when mashing the potatoes)
8 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • In a large pot, boil potatoes in water until tender but not falling apart, about 20-25 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes and mash with the butter and milk. I use my hand mixer.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large bowl combine potatoes, Gouda, garlic and chipotle peppers; mix well.
  • Put potatoes into a 4 quart casserole and bake, covered, for 45 to 55 minutes stirring once.
  • I like to uncover the potatoes the last 15 minutes or so of baking time to brown the top a little.
  • Potatoes can be made ahead. Mix as above, do not bake. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake as directed or until potatoes are heated through.
