Southwest Smashed Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Put 1 3/4 pounds baby potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Add 2 bay leaves, 2 garlic cloves and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, discarding the bay leaves and garlic. Toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, transfer to a baking sheet and smash with a spatula or measuring cup. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, turning, until crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, add jalapeño and corn, and sprinkle with salt and pepper; let sit for a moment. When corn begins to brown, shake pan to distribute for even browning. Remove corn.
• Add remaining oil to pan. When hot, add potatoes. Cook, undisturbed, until they begin to brown around edges and release from pan, about 10 minutes. Continue, at least 15 more minutes, turning potatoes to brown all sides without stirring too often. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and lower heat if needed to prevent scorching. When potatoes are tender and golden, add chili powder, corn and beans.
• Turn on broiler. Place rack about 4 inches below. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish, sprinkle with cheese and run under broiler until cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the broth and potatoes in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well in a colander, reserving the broth.
• Mash the potatoes with a fork with reserved broth and butter to desired consistency. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Cook mashed potatoes as usual.
• Add cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and chipotle powder and mix well.
• Grate cheddar cheese over mashed potatoes and heat until melted.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 13x9 baking dish.
• Mix together the first 8 ingredients through the first 2 cups of shredded cheese.
• Mix together the sour cream, salsa, cilantro, garlic, cumin and salt and stir into the potato mixture until it's well coated.
• Spread mix into prepared baking dish and top with remaining cup of cheese.
• Bake for 60 minutes.
• Remove from oven and top with fresh chopped tomatoes and sliced green onions.
• Can serve right away, but sauce will thicken more if you let it sit 10-15 minutes.
• Serve with sour cream and hot sauce. This is really good served alongside a crisp salad.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Carefully pierce potatoes with a fork. On a baking sheet, oil the potatoes well and sprinkle with salt.
• Bake for about one hour. If making more potatoes, an additional 15 minutes per potato is needed.
• In a skillet over high heat, add the ground beef with a bit of oil.
• Add the taco seasoning, black beans, and tomatoes. You may want to drain the ground beef mixture once cooked if there's too much liquid.
• Once the potatoes are cooled, cut them vertically, scoop out the inside, and transfer to a bowl.
• In the bowl with the scooped out potatoes, add the ground beef mixture and cheddar cheese. Mix well.
• Scoop the potato mixture back into the potatoes and top with cheddar cheese.
• Bake an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Serve warm with guacamole.
• Enjoy!
