Best 5 Potatoes With Roasted Poblano Chiles And Mexican Sour Cream Papas Con Rajas Y Crema Ácida Recipes

PAPAS CON RAJAS TACOS (POTATO WITH ROASTED POBLANO PEPPER TACOS)

Steps:

• Roast the poblanos over the flames of a gas stove or under the broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is blackened and burnt all over. Put the peppers in a bowl and cover. Set aside for several minutes until cool enough to handle. The steam will loosen their skin, peel the poblanos, remove the stem and seeds, and slice into thin strips. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a pot and cover with water. Cover and bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer to cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 5-8 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• In a large skillet over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften and turn a golden color.
• Add the roasted poblano strips, minced garlic, the oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes.
• Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil and the cooked potatoes to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of salt, and fry for about 5 minutes, only stirring once or twice so the potatoes can brown.
• Serve on warmed corn tortillas with a drizzle of creamy Mexican chipotle sauce and minced cilantro and onion (if desired).

LIGHT SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH ROASTED CHILES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblano cut-side down on a baking sheet and broil until the skin is browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let cool 5 minutes. Peel the skin off the poblano under cold running water, then chop into small pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter a 2-quart baking dish. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, chicken broth, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring gently, until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Arrange half of the potato-broth mixture in the prepared baking dish in an even layer. Sprinkle with half each of the roasted poblano and parmesan. Repeat with the remaining potato-broth mixture, poblano and parmesan. Bake until bubbly and slightly golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Thin some crema or sour cream with water and serve alongside for topping.

BAKED POTATO WITH POBLANOS AND SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly wash and dry potatoes. Prick each in a few spots with a fork. Brush with oil and season with salt.
• Place potatoes directly on rack and bake until soft and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes, depending on size. Meanwhile, halve and thinly slice peppers and onion. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add peppers and onion, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden in places, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in broth and sour cream. Boil until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire and lime juice.
• Remove potatoes from oven. Grab a hot potato with a clean kitchen towel and bang it down firmly on the counter once to fluff up the flesh. Repeat with remaining potatoes. Cut open, season generously with salt and pepper, and top with pepper mixture, more sour cream, and cilantro.

POBLANO MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a sauce pan, generously covered with water and add salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, uncovered until soft, about 20-30 minutes. Drain well and while potatoes are still warm mash with a potato masher or food mill.
• In another pot heat sour cream, olive oil and chiles and fold in potatoes. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (250 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a large roasting pan and toss with oil, salt, pepper, and rosemary until evenly coated. Spread out potatoes in a single layer.
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.
