Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Roasted green chiles (diced)
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Sour cream
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly sized chunks for even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Step 3
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 2-3 minutes to release excess moisture.
Step 5
While the potatoes sit, in a small saucepan, heat the butter and milk over low heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm. Do not boil.
Step 6
Mash the potatoes using a masher or a hand mixer, gradually adding the warm butter and milk mixture until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Fold in the diced green chiles, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 9
Transfer the mashed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy!
