MAde as directed and left out the salt. Went a bit hevier than some may ont he white pepper (personal taste) and used everything as listed. Delightful....just as they are. Not that you will eat a whole bowl - go ahead and have your 1/4 of these measurements here - no worries folks! Just a gerat flavor - I might even add a larger can or double the green chiles next time. YUM!

Nice change of pace! Used only 2 Tablespoons of butter because the 4 oz. (1 stick) called for is a lot. Also used half & half creamer instead of heavy cream. Next time I would leave out the cream all together as the sour cream provided enough moisture to mash and they were plenty flavorful even with the reduced fat & calories! The overall flavor has a little bit of tang and mild, mild spice. Try it!

What a nice way to dress up mashed potatoes! We love green chiles so this was guaranteed to please. I tinkered with it to lower the fat content - used low fat sour cream and fat-free half and half instead of cream. Served with grilled pork chops, this made for an easy tasty supper. Thanks for the idea!

I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
