  • 8 ounce White potatoes, peeled
  • 2 x Poblano chiles, stemmed, seeded, peeled, and finely minced, about 2/3 c.
  • 4 piece bacon
  • 1/4 c. Chorizo
  • 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 c. Queso fresco, or possibly Monterey Jack cheese, grated
  • 1/2 c. Lowfat sour cream
  • 1/2 c. Queso panela, or possibly feta cheese

Directions

  1. Simmer the peeled potatoes in water to cover till they are soft sufficient to pierce fairly easily with a skewer except toward the center. This will take about 20 min.
  2. Remove the potatoes from the water and when they are cold sufficient to handle slice a 1/4-inch piece lengthwise from one side to create a level surface.
  3. Using a paring knife and medium-sized spoon, cut and scoop out the interiors of the potatoes from the flattened side, leaving a 1/4- to 1/3 inch wall all around. It is important which the interior portion of the potatoes, that is removed and that will be the stuffing, be hard and cut into fairly equal-sized pcs of 1/2 inch. Place the minced potato centers in a bowl and add in the minced poblano chiles.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and fry the bacon till it is crisp; then remove and reserve it. Fry the chorizo till it is golden brown and remove and reserve it. Toss the oil with the minced potato centers and chiles and fry till the potatoes are crisp and golden; then place them in a bowl.
  5. Chop the bacon and add in it and the chorizo to the potato/chile mix and allow it to come to room temperature. Stir in the queso fresco or possibly Monterey Jack cheese and the lowfat sour cream.
  6. Fill the reserved potato shells with the above mix and bake till they are warm and cooked through, about 25 to 30 min. Place potatoes on serving plates and sprinkle on the queso panela or possibly feta cheese. Serve with broiled meats or possibly poultry.
