Chilli cheese mash is a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes. It combines the creamy richness of cheddar cheese and heavy whipping cream with the spicy kick of red hot chili peppers. This unique blend of flavors creates a dish that's both comforting and exciting, perfect for spicing up your dinner table.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into even-sized chunks for consistent cooking.
- Place the potato chunks into a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are boiling, carefully cut the red hot chili peppers in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder mash, or leave them in for extra heat.
- Finely chop the chili peppers into small pieces.
- Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly in a colander and return them to the pot.
- Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the potatoes until smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the heavy whipping cream over the mashed potatoes and stir to combine. This will make the mash creamy and smooth.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the potato mixture and stir until the cheese is fully melted and evenly distributed.
- Add the finely chopped chili peppers to the mashed potatoes. Stir well to ensure the chili is evenly mixed throughout the mash.
- Taste the mash and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Serve the chilli cheese mash hot as a flavorful side dish to complement your main course.
Tips:
- Choose starchy potatoes like Russets for the fluffiest mash.
- If you prefer less spice, remove the seeds from the red hot chili peppers before adding them to the dish.
- Gradually add the cream while mashing to achieve your desired consistency.
- For a smoother texture, you can use a potato ricer or food mill instead of a traditional masher.
- Garnish with extra grated cheese and chopped chives for added flavor and visual appeal.
