Here’s a great potato casserole that has onions, cheese, tomatoes and green chile. What’s not to like?! A side dish for 12-16 people, it can easily be scaled down to half that size.
Ready in: 1 hour

Ingredients

Serves: 12

• 5 pounds red potatoes, washed and 1/2″ to 3/4″ chopped
• 1 cup yellow onion, 1/2″ to 3/4″ chopped (about 1 small onion)
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 2 New Mexico “Big Jim” green chiles, roasted, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup chopped cilantro for garnish

Preparation method

Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 45 mins

1. Set your oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°. Spray or grease a 9″x13″x2″ baking dishe. ( it’s really full, but it fits!)
2. In a large pot over medium high heat, boil the potatoes and chopped onion together, covered, in just enough water to cover for 12 to 15 minutes or until just about tender. Drain them in a colander and return them to the pot. Stir in the sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir in the chopped tomato(es). Spoon the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
3. Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro over each serving.Make ahead

Refrigerate after step 2. Get them out of the fridge to start warming up to room temperature about half an hour before baking while you preheat the oven to 350°. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until hot through.

Alternate method

Rotel (brand) makes canned tomatoes with green chiles. Drain 2 10-ounces cans really well and use them in place of the fresh tomatoes and green chiles if needed.

Tip

In the Fall, when fresh New Mexico green chiles are available, buy a bunch of them. Take the time to roast and peel them, then freeze them (2 chiles to a “snack” sized zip-lock baggie) for use throughout the year. When you need some, just get a baggie out of the freezer and chop off whatever you need! We do 40-60 pounds of them every Fall!

Use for leftovers

Mix up some taco/burrito meat and add it to the leftovers for a complete meal.
