Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 large Poblano chilies
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Wash the poblano chilies and place them on a baking sheet. Lightly coat them with olive oil.

Step 3

Roast the chilies in the oven for 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 4

Remove the chilies from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let them steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to remove the skin.

Step 5

While the chilies are steaming, peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch chunks.

Step 6

Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 7

While the potatoes are boiling, peel the skin off the roasted chilies, remove the seeds and stems, and finely chop them.

Step 8

In a small saucepan, heat the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and milk, and warm gently. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them using a potato masher or ricer until smooth and fluffy.

Step 10

Gradually pour in the warmed cream and butter mixture, mixing continuously. Add the chopped roasted chilies, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired.
