Southwest Mashed Potatoes image

I was experimenting with a side dish that would compliment chipotle lime chicken, and this is what I came up with. Baby red potatoes are cooked with the skins on, mashed, and peppers and onions are sauteed and added to mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

I'm not sure about the combination of sweet and spicy in mashed potatoes. I'll have to give it a try before I decide if I like it.

These mashed potatoes were a little too spicy for my taste. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
