How to Make Chile Verde Potato Bake

  1. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb diced pork and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 medium onion (diced), 1/2 cup green onions (sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1-2 green chilies (finely chopped), 2 stalks celery (diced), and 1/2 cup carrots (diced). Cook until the vegetables are tender and the pork is fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, 1 cup enchilada sauce, 1 cup salsa verde, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the cooled chile verde mixture with 2 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed). Let stand for 5 minutes before adding dairy.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup sour cream. Pour into the potato and chile verde mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  8. Lightly grease an 8x10 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  9. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  10. Top with 1 cup salsa verde and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with extra sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced tomatoes before serving. Enjoy for dinner or breakfast!
