Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 medium Green chiles
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into roughly 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot, boil water with a pinch of salt. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes are boiling, mince the garlic and finely chop the green chiles.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and green chiles, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the oil, garlic, and chiles.

Step 6

Season with salt and black pepper. Toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 7

Add the butter to the skillet and stir until melted and coated evenly over the potatoes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potatoes. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully remove the lid and check to ensure the cheese has melted completely. Turn off the heat.

Step 10

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
