It’s that time of month again…Crazy Cooking Challenge time! This month’s challenge is mashed potatoes. I instantly knew what I want to make. I had seen Abuelos Papas con Chile recipe over on Mommy Travels and was just waiting for the right time to make them. These will become a staple in our house. They were fantastic!
Simply start by boiling red potatoes that have been quartered.
I then prepped the rest of the ingredients.
Once the potatoes were soft, I added the remaining ingredients – peppers, onions, velveeta, cream cheese, sour cream, cream, garlic and green onions.
I used a hand masher to incorporate all the ingredients into the potatoes.
They were divine smelling. Let’s be honest, I stuck my finger in for a big taste.
I had made carnitas in the crock pot and these potatoes were the perfect side dish.

Jenny's Cookbook I should!
I don't know what happened there. It should read "maybe I should".
I'm not a velveeta fan, but your potatoes look so good that I might not care
. Seriously, lovely color and I like all your bits of this and that.
Hope you'll stop by and see my Deep-Fried mozzarella Stuffed Mashed Potato Balls.

i realized that i had a mexican potluck today and only had potatoes as a main ingredient! looking online for mexican potatoes i found your recipe and it was AMAZING. i had to make some alternations because i didnt plan ahead for ingredients, but the cans of green salsa really helped pull off the ‘mexican’ flavor. thank you for sharing!!!
these potatoes were amazing! they were just like abuelos!
