Papas (Mexican Mashed Potatoes image

When we visited Costa Rica, I had these potatoes and fell in love with them. I have tried many many recipes but none was ever what I was looking for. These are the closests that I have gotten. They are not as good as Costa Rica's (of course) but they are still so good.

These papas are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the green chiles and spices. They don't even realize they're eating healthy!

These papas are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. I always have a few leftover potatoes after making mashed potatoes and I never know what to do with them. Now I can just make papas!

I'm not usually a big fan of mashed potatoes, but these papas are an exception. They're so light and fluffy, and the flavor is out of this world.
