Tonight's Side Dish - Creamer Potatoes w/Green Chile Butter

[Guest guest]

This was tonight's side dish. It was delicious and really quick to put

together. If you are a chile-head like me, you might want to make it hotter

and use hotter chiles in the butter. I made it with green cayennes. I have a

ton of them. If you are more wimpy than use jalapeno, anaheims or poblanos.

Probably would be great with any of them.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

 

* To make green chile butter: Place 1 stick of softened unsalted butter, 1-2

chopped green chiles, and a bit of salt in a large bowl. Mix well. Place

flavored butter on a sheet of wax paper. Smooth it out and roll it up, like

a cigar. Fold over the sides and freeze it. When needed, remove it, thaw it

a bit and cut into small coin-sized pieces.

 

Butter can be used on lots of things - grilled chicken, fish or meat. Also

great mixed into cooked rice or pasta.

This is also great on roasted sweet corn-on-the-cob!
