How to Make Southwestern Smokey Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and cube 2 lbs russet potatoes. Place in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender but not falling apart, about 20-25 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
  4. Return potatoes to the pot. Add 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup milk. Mash until smooth using a hand mixer or potato masher.
  5. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with 1 cup shredded gouda cheese, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference). Mix well.
  7. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 4-quart casserole dish.
  8. Bake, covered, for 45-55 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  9. Uncover and bake for the last 15 minutes to brown the top.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
