Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, or until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Stir in green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and jalapeno, and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes or until the peppers are soft and cooked through, stirring occasionally. Stir in the green chiles. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
• When the potatoes are cooked and ready, add in the onion mixture, cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter (cut into small pieces) to the stockpot. Then use a potato masher to mash the potatoes and stir the mixture together until combined. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and feel free to add in extra warmed milk if you would like creamier potatoes.
