Abuelos Papas con Chile aka Tex-Mex mashed potatoes
Tex-Mex mashed potatoes are one of my all-time favorite side dishes. These papas con chile are creamy and a little spicy. These go great with any Mexican entree including these:
This recipe came from an extremely popular restaurant in Texas. Now that same restaurant is in multiple states and I highly recommend you eat there if you ever get a chance. We ate at the Abuelos in Orlando in May and as always it was outstanding!
