Immerse yourself in the bold flavors of Tex Mex Mashed Potatoes! Creamy, cheesy, and specked with zesty green chilies, these spuds are a fiesta on your plate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1/4 cup of sour cream
  • 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup of canned diced green chilies (drained)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Begin by boiling the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to steam for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
  3. Step 3: Add the milk, sour cream, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the potatoes. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Step 4: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced green chilies, mixing until well combined and the cheese has melted slightly.
  5. Step 5: Taste the mashed potatoes and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm, garnished with extra cheese or chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For optimal freshness, store any leftover Tex Mex Mashed Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • When reheating, add a splash of milk to the mashed potatoes and warm them gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally for a creamy consistency.
  • For a fun serving suggestion, top your mashed potatoes with additional shredded cheese, diced avocado, or a dollop of salsa to enhance the Tex Mex flavor profile.
  • To elevate the dish, try using smoked cheddar cheese instead of regular cheddar for an added depth of flavor that pairs wonderfully with the green chilies and spices.
