Another potato winner. My family loves potatoes on a Friday night, and these were exceptionally good. The heat from the poblano peppers were delicious, and the epazote leaves were interesting. It did add a nice touch to the potatoes, though.

Delish! I used a poblano pepper from my garden and it had a mild heat to it! I used the potatoes as a filling for burritos with some refried beans and salsa.

Great potatoes. I had never heard of epazote leaves, but found some at the local grocery which has a large Hispanic section. Really liked the flavor they added. I subbed Monterey Jack for the mozzarella. Will be making these again! Made for ZWT8.
