Green Chile Mashers Food

GREEN CHILE CHEDDAR MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once it is boiling, add the potatoes and garlic cloves, and boil for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender all the way through.
• Drain the potatoes, then add the cream cheese, milk, cheddar, green chiles, salt and pepper to the potatoes and use a masher to mash the potatoes and combine the ingredients while mashing.
• Work only until everything is combined and there are only small chunks of potatoes. If the potatoes are too thick, add additional milk until they are the desired consistency.
• Serve warm and enjoy!

GREEN CHILE MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil potatoes until tender but don't overcook!
• Drain well.
• Mash the rest of the ingredients into the potatoes right in the pot with a potato masher.
• You can use an electric mixer but be careful not to over beat.

GREEN CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the oil. When hot, add the onions and jalapeno and saute until just starting to caramelize, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more.
• Reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle the onion mixture with the flour and stir constantly until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the reserved liquid from the chiles, 1 cup water, the vinegar and salt and stir until the liquid is smooth and all the flour is dissolved.
• Add the chiles and pepper and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes. Puree in a blender, or with a stick blender, and add the lime juice. Adjust to taste for salt and pepper. Refrigerate for up to 1 week.

TOMASITA'S GREEN CHILE

Steps:

• Put the New Mexico green chile in a large saucepan over medium heat. Do not let boil.
• Make a roux. Put the oil in a saucepan, over medium heat, heat up slightly, add the flour and stir constantly. The flour should get toasted and brown, but do not burn it, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the roux into the green chile and mix to combine. This will make it thicker and change the color slightly, but it should not get white in color. The chile and liquid should just look darker and less bright that the green chile without any roux. Add enough roux and water to get the chile to the right consistency, which should be like gravy. You may not use all the roux.
• Add the garlic and salt. Leave the chile in the pot to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Do NOT bring it to a boil, as that may burn the flour in the roux. Add more salt and garlic if needed and serve.

MASHED POTATOES WITH GREEN CHILE QUESO SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons of salt and cover by a few inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until a paring knife inserted in the center meets no resistance.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the hot milk and increase the heat to high, cooking until the milk has thickened and the flour taste has been cooked out, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Monterey Jack cheese until smooth and melted. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and poblano chile and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain the potatoes well, and then return to the pot over low heat to dry out. When the potatoes turn white and become dry, pass them through a ricer into a large glass bowl. Gently combine the potatoes with the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and the warm cream, using a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
• Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and fill with the cheese sauce. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

SUPER MASHERS WITH CHICKEN AND GREEN CHILI HASH

Steps:

• Prepare the potatoes as directed as in the master recipe, #143. Prepare the chicken as directed for the beef, omitting the Worcestershire. Add the peppers, chilies, and onions at the same stage of the meal preparation. Leave out the hot sauce, but, after you add the lime juice, stir in the salsa, adding it to the cooked meat and vegetables.
• Top the portions of mashers with a generous handful of shredded Cheddar cheese and the hot chicken, peppers, and chili salsa and serve.
• Still want to partake in meat and mashers, but you're dieting? Lighten this recipe up by using nonfat sour cream, swapping chicken stock for milk, and skipping the cheese all together. Who says you can't have your mashers and eat them too?
