This is an Abuelo’s copy cat recipe that I got from my friend’s mom. 🙂
- 3lbs red potatos (they come in 3lb bags!)
- 3 oz cream cheese
- 8 oz 2% Velveeta (1/2 block)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp minced onion
- 1 small can green chilis
- 1.5 oz pimentos (if you have them, I left it out)
- 3/4 oz pickled jalapenos (finely chopped)
- Wash and remove weird spots off potatoes, and cut into quarters. Place in stock pot and cover with water.
- Boil over until potatoes are soft to the touch. (I cooked them about 35 minutes) Drain water.
- Combine all ingredients into a large bowl. Mash with potato masher until combined, stirring with a fork if necessary.
- Pour into a baking dish covered in cooking spray.
- Warm in the oven until ready to serve.
