MEXICAN STYLE POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a large-size frying pan over medium-high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the diced potatoes and brown for about 8-10 minutes. Stir frequently to avoid burning them. Make sure all the sides of the potatoes are golden.
• Stir in the onion and cook for about 3 minutes. By that time the onion should be translucent.
• Add the Serrano or Jalapeño pepper and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring from time to time.
• Now, add the chopped tomato, salt to taste, and gently stir them in with the potatoes, onion, and peppers. I like the tomatoes cubes to still hold some of their shape when serving, so this step is a quick one, just 1 or 2 minutes before proceeding to serve. Of course, if you like your tomatoes well cooked, then cook them a little bit longer.

TEX-MEX MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add potatoes to a large stockpot and cover with water. Heat over high heat until the water reaches a boil. Reduce heat to medium-high and continue boiling until the potatoes are fork-tender (can mash easily with a fork). Drain, and then return the potatoes to the stockpot.
• Meanwhile, while the potatoes are cooking, heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until melted. 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.
• Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions and/or extra shredded cheese if desired.
