Hatch Green Chile Mashed Potatoes
Creamy mashed potatoes loaded with cheese, garlic, and Hatch green chile, then TOPPED with olive, onion, and more Hatch green chile for an awesome tapenade-ish kinda vibe.
Ingredients
For the potatoes
- 2 lbs red skinned potatoes quartered
- 3 large cloves garlic
- 1 4 oz can Hatch green chilies, drained (see Notes)
- ½ cup milk
- 4 Tbs unsalted butter
- ¼ cup buttermilk ranch salad dressing

For the Hatch green chile-olive topping
- 1 4 oz can Hatch green chilies, drained
- 2 oz chopped black olives
- 2 green onions white and green parts, thinly sliced
- pinch fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F.
- Put the potatoes and garlic in a pot and add enough water to cover. Boil ~15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Drain.
- In a bowl, add the cooked potatoes with the garlic, milk, butter, ranch, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until mostly creamy but still a little chunky. Add 1/4 cup parmesan and 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and stir to combine. Taste for seasoning.
- Transfer the mashed potatoes to a bake dish or small casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through and cheeses are all melty.

Notes
Since I was cooking for adults and kids, I got mild chiles. But by all means, go big or go home and get the hot ones if that's ur thing.
