Chili Cheese Mashed Potatoes Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In 3-quart saucepan, heat water, butter and salt to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in milk and dry potatoes just until moistened. Let stand about 30 seconds or until liquid is absorbed; whip with fork.
• In 1-quart saucepan, cook beans and tomatoes over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Spoon onto individual servings of potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and onions.

Steps:

• Put the cut potatoes into a pot filled with the cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until a fork or knife pierces the potato chunks easily.
• While the potatoes are cooking, put the cream, butter, salt, pepper, and chili paste into a saucepan. Heat the cream until the butter melts, but do not allow the mixture to boil. Keep the mixture warm until you are ready to add it to the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are fully cooked, drain in a colander for 5 minutes to remove all excess moisture. It is important to rice the potatoes while they are still hot, because cold potatoes will become rubbery and starchy. Fill the ricer no more than half full. Squeeze the hot potatoes through the ricer and into a stainless steel bowl, being careful that the potatoes do not squeeze out the top of the ricer, which would cause lumps in the mashed potatoes. When all of the potatoes have been riced, stir in the hot cream and butter mixture with a wooden spoon and fully incorporate the seasoning, cream, and butter into the potatoes. Add the chopped chives and serve promptly. If the mashed potatoes must be held a few minutes, keep warm in a double boiler or in a bowl covered with plastic wrap and placed over hot water.

Steps:

• Heat heavy skillet over moderate heat hot and toast chilies, 1 at a time, pressing down with tongs, a few seconds on each side to make more pliable. Wearing rubber gloves, seed and devein chilies and coarsely chop. In a small saucepan bring chilies and 3/4 cup milk just to a simmer and in a blender purée until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). Stir mixture into potatoes, adding more milk if necessary to make creamy.

• Char poblano chilies directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag; let stand 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and chop chilies.
• Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 18 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to same pot. Add milk and butter and mash potatoes well. Mix in cheese and chilies. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Stir over medium-low heat to rewarm before continuing.) Transfer potatoes to bowl and serve.
