A mashed potato recipe kicked up with wonderful green chilies! The taste contrast is unbelievable.

1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)

1/2 cup diced canned green chilies, mild or spicy

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro

1. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water.

2. Add a few pinches of salt and bring to a boil.

3. Uncover and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

4. Drain and return the potatoes to the pot.

5. Add the milk and butter and mash well with a fork or potato masher.

6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Makes 4 servings.
