These Cowboy Potatoes are wonderful - don't know where I got
the recipe but I love the fact that they can be made ahead
and then just warmed at meal time and I DO serve them for
company quite often - they go with a lot of other things so
well
Cowboy Potatoes
1 lb. Red potatoes
1 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, slice ( I microplane 2, usually)
12 oz. Baby carrots
4 cloves garlic
1 10 oz. Pkg. Frozen white corn, thawed (I use more usually)
1/4 C butter
1/2 C shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Place potatoes (I use whatever I have at home to equal about
2 lbs.) , pepper, carrots and garlic in a large pot.
Cover with water, bring to a boil over high heat. Cook 15-20
minutes until potatoes are tender but not mushy
Drain water from pot.
Mash mixture slightly, add remaining ingredients (except
cheese) with potato masher again until butter is melted.
Stir in cheese, saving some for the top.
May be made ahead and warmed up at serving time
Freezes well
Serves 10
These are really yummy but I only make them for company as
the recipe makes so much. And they do freeze well
Serve hot with fruit or cold with cream. I love it just on
its own
