Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons 2% milk
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Place the potatoes in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain.
  2. In a small bowl, mash potatoes with milk. Beat in the goat cheese, cilantro, onion, jalapeno and garlic.
  3. Spoon into a 2-cup baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
