Follow The Directions

01

Step
20 mins

In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add the sliced potatoes and cook until tender, easily pierced with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes.

02

Step
5 mins

While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the chipotle peppers and mince the garlic.

03

Step
1 mins

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly in a colander.

04

Step
5 mins

Return the drained potatoes to the saucepan. Add the softened butter, warmed milk, and warmed heavy cream. Using a potato masher or a ricer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.

05

Step
3 mins

Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients, ensuring even distribution of flavor.

06

Step
2 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more chipotle for heat, salt for flavor, or milk/cream for desired consistency.

07

Step
1 mins

Garnish with additional fresh cilantro before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful fusion of flavors.

For an even smoother consistency, use a potato ricer instead of a masher.
Warming the milk and cream helps the potatoes absorb them more easily and prevents them from becoming gluey.
If you prefer a milder flavor, start with just one chipotle pepper and adjust to taste.
A squeeze of lime juice can add a bright, zesty counterpoint to the smoky heat.
These mashed potatoes pair perfectly with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a base for flavorful bowls.

    A little too spicy for my taste, I will reduce the amount of chipotle pepper next time.
