Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
8 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into pats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
3/4 to 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 poblano chile, roasted, and then peeled, seeded and finely diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup cream, warmed
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

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.

MEXICAN POTATOES WITH CHEESE - PAPAS CON QUESO



Mexican Potatoes With Cheese - Papas Con Queso image

This is another simple yet delicious authentic dish from Zacatecas Mexico that my mother taught me how to make! It is important to know that this recipe won't work well if you don't use queso fresco. You must use this type of cheese specifically for the recipe to incorporate well, other wise it wont come out. Makes a great side dish.
