GREEN MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Mash the potatoes: While the milk is heating, mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or use a potato ricer. (Do not over mix or the potatoes will turn gluey.)

3 SISTERS GREEN CHILI POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Cook potatoes in boiling water for about 8-10 minutes, just until barely tender. They will continue to cook with the other vegetables in the next step. Drain off water and return potatoes to the pot. Add milk, cream, and salt. Heat to a simmer, but do not boil.
• 2. Meanwhile in a medium skillet cook bacon and onions together until bacon is almost crisp. Drain grease. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Drain mixture well and then add to potato mixture in pot. Add all other vegetables, beans, and peppers. Cover and cook at a low simmer for about 20 minutes or until zucchini is tender. Taste. Add salt, pepper, and fresh cilantro as desired. Serve in big bowls sprinkled with pepper jack or sharp cheddar cheese.

SUNNY'S GREEN GODDESS TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Rub the potatoes all over with the oil. Season the skins with salt and pepper and place on a baking sheet. Bake until tender inside, about 1 hour. Set aside until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Leave the oven on.
• For the yogurt mixture. While the potatoes are baking, in a medium bowl, stir together the yogurt, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley and scallions. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• For the filling: Slice each potato in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to gently hollow out each half, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh around the border and bottom. Mash the potato flesh in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher. Add the melted butter, half of the cream or milk, 1 cup of the cheese blend, 1/2 cup of the yogurt mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. Reserve the rest of the yogurt mixture for serving. Mix to combine, adding more cream or milk to make smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
• Re-bake the potatoes: Line a baking sheet with parchment or nonstick aluminum foil. Place the hollowed-out potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Using a large spoon, fill the recess of each potato with the filling. Top the potatoes with the remaining cheese. Bake until the tops begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of the reserved yogurt mixture.

LOADED POTATO AND BUFFALO CHICKEN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and hot sauce. Add potatoes and stir to coat. Carefully scoop potatoes into the baking dish, leaving as much of the oil mixture in the bowl as possible. Bake the potatoes for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are browned and crispy, stirring every 10-15 minutes to prevent burning.
• 3. While the potatoes are cooking, add the chicken to to the rest of the oil mixture and stir to coat. Let sit aside until potatoes are done cooking.
• 4. Once potatoes are finished, remove from the oven and reduce heat to 400 F. Top the potatoes with the chicken, still leaving behind some of the marinade. (Don't want the oil to burn in the oven.)
• 5. In a medium bowl, mix together cheese, bacon and green onions. Top chicken and potatoes with cheese mixture.
• 6. Return the casserole to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and topping is bubbly. Serve with extra hot sauce and/or blue cheese dressing.
