Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt
8 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into pats
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
3/4 to 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 poblano chile, roasted, and then peeled, seeded and finely diced
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 to 3/4 cup cream, warmed
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the potatoes in a large pot with 2 tablespoons of salt and cover by a few inches of cold water. Bring to a boil, cover and cook until a paring knife inserted in the center meets no resistance.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the hot milk and increase the heat to high, cooking until the milk has thickened and the flour taste has been cooked out, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Monterey Jack cheese until smooth and melted. Stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano and poblano chile and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drain the potatoes well, and then return to the pot over low heat to dry out. When the potatoes turn white and become dry, pass them through a ricer into a large glass bowl. Gently combine the potatoes with the remaining 6 tablespoons butter and the warm cream, using a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Make a well in the middle of the potatoes and fill with the cheese sauce. Garnish with cilantro and serve.

These are so tasty and work great as a side for just about anything. Be sure to use waxy new potatoes for this, though. Other potatoes will break down too much hile cooking. New potatoes will retain their firmness and shape.
