Southwest Mashed Potatoes image

I was experimenting with a side dish that would compliment chipotle lime chicken, and this is what I came up with. Baby red potatoes are cooked with the skins on, mashed, and peppers and onions are sauteed and added to mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

These mashed potatoes were a disappointment. The flavor was bland and the texture was gluey. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
