Follow The Directions

01

Step

Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.

02

Step

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the jalapeño-cilantro mixture. In a food processor, combine the chopped cilantro and diced jalapeño. Pulse until finely chopped, about 30 seconds. Add the sour cream and jalapeño-flavored cream cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy, another 30 seconds.

03

Step

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. Using a potato masher or an electric mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth. Gradually beat in the jalapeño-cilantro mixture and butter until fully incorporated and the potatoes are creamy and vibrant. Season with sea salt to taste.

For a smoother consistency, use a ricer instead of a masher.
Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your preference. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes completely.
Feel free to experiment with other herbs like chives or scallions for added flavor.
The jalapeño-flavored cream cheese can be substituted with plain cream cheese and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a similar result.
