Chipotle Cheddar Mashed Potatoes

recipe in English and Spanish

The Thanksgiving countdown has begun at my home. I have been making my list, tweaking a few recipes and trying new ones to add to my Holiday table. The familia and I are super excited this year as my little brother will be joining us for Thanksgiving.

Everyone in my family together for Thanksgiving at my house.

Woo-Hoo! Can you tell I’m excited? Well last night I decided it was time to give last year’s mashed potato recipe ( I used rajas de poblano) a new twist with chipotles and a good dose of cheddar cheese. I whipped up Cooking Light’s recipe I had bookmarked last year, from 2001 and we loved them!

Creamy, spicy and cheesy, really every girl’s dream side-dish.

Well at least mine, Enjoy~
