Abuelo's Papas con Chile

Papas con Chile from MommyTravels.net

Hi Pinners! I am so happy you've found my site. You are going to LOVE these Tex-Mex mashed potatoes. I've had a lot of you ask if I cook the peppers. No, I chop them up and just thrown them in. The potatoes are so hot that they will soften without being cooked. If you would like to find me on Pinterest you can here Meagan Shamy and if you enjoy Tex-Mex cuisine check out my round up of 14 Tex-Mex Recipes Appetizers Main Dishes Side Dishes Desserts.


I love the papas con chile at Abuelo's and was beyond excited when I found this recipe last week on the Abuelo's facebook page! Now if they would open a restaurant up here in Oregon!

I cut this recipe in half and it made a ton.  Papas are Tex-Mex mash potatoes and they make the perfect side dish for

• Tacos Al Pastor
• Mexican Lasagna
• Taco Soup
• White Chicken Chili
• Corn Chowder
• Texas Beefaroni
