I'm not a big fan of ancho chiles, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm glad I did! The ancho chiles were not as spicy as I thought they would be, and they added a nice smoky flavor to the potatoes. The dry jack cheese was also a nice touch.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the ancho chiles gave the potatoes a nice smoky flavor and the dry jack cheese added a creamy richness. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less ancho chile
