SOUTHWEST POTATO CASSEROLE



Southwest Potato Casserole image

Ready, Set, Cook! Special Edition Contest Entry: Try this yummy cheesy zesty potato casserole! It has all of the southwest flavors I love. It's very comforting and satisfying too. It is super easy to throw together, and uses pantry staples most of us have on hand. I really enjoyed it with tuna, but I think it would be just as good Vegetarian or with cooked chicken, cooked ground beef or cooked sausage. I made this pretty mild, but it can easily be spiced up with fresh or canned jalapenos or added red pepper flakes or hot sauce. Feel free to use reduced-fat cheese.

Number Of Ingredients 12

Unsalted butter, for baking dish
4 large sweet potatoes (about 4 pounds), peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups grated Chihuahua or Monterey Jack cheese (6 ounces)
1 1/2 cups Cotija or French feta cheese, crumbled (6 ounces)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon finely chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo (optional)
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons homemade or low-sodium store-bought chicken stock, or water
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 cup crushed tortilla chips
Lime wedges, for garnish
Mexican crema or sour cream, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13- inch baking dish; set aside. Toss potatoes with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange half of potatoes in buttered dish, overlapping slices. Sprinkle with half of each cheese. Top with onion.
  • Stir chipotle (if desired) into stock; drizzle over onion. Sprinkle with half the cilantro. Top with remaining potatoes; sprinkle with remaining cheeses and cilantro. Scatter chips on top.
  • Cover with foil; bake 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake until very tender and top is well browned, about 30 minutes more. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve with limes, and with crema, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to dice the potatoes evenly so they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked bacon.
  • If you don't have green chilies, you can use a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • Top the casserole with shredded cheese before baking for a golden brown crust.
