Here is a mashed potato recipe that we have done for quite awhile...we love it
and if there are left overs, I add flour, and turn the leftover mashed potato
into a different lefsa, or if yer Irish, potato cakes.
4-5 medium russet potatoes(russetts are best)
6 garlic cloves peeled and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup milk
2 tbls butter or margarine
1 good sized Jalapeno, chopped fine, de-seeded OR 1 finely chopped Hab,
your pick
As much Calvin's or Jim's chile powder as you wish
Peel and cut into chunks the potatoes, and just cover with cold water, add a
LITTLE salt
and bring to a boil, add the garlic, the chopped onion, the chopped pepper.
and turn down heat, simmer until potatoes are done...drain water, save this
for soup stock! and mash the potatoes, adding the milk, butter, and the chile
powder...adjust the milk, or, and butter(or marg) so that the ensuing potato
mixture is correct. Serve with whatever you would serve ordinary mashed
potatos with....BEWARE! THESE AINT!! Cheers, Doug in BC
