This was tonight's side dish. I made it in the microwave. It was quick and
yummy. What made it so quick is I had the Green Chile Butter already in the
freezer so I just took it out and cut a few pieces to put in with the
potatoes. It was good.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* To make green chile butter: Place 1 stick of softened unsalted butter, 1-2
chopped green chiles, and a bit of salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Place
flavored butter on a sheet of wax paper. Smooth it out and roll it up, like
a cigar. Fold over the sides and freeze it. When needed, remove it, thaw it
a bit and cut into small coin-sized pieces.

Butter can be used on lots of things - grilled chicken, fish or meat. Also
great mixed into cooked rice or pasta.
