Cooking Instructions for making Chili Potatoes
Wash the potatoes. Fill a big pot 3/4 way full of hot water. Add salt and let it dissolve. Add the potatoes, cover, and boil till fork tender. Drain the water and wrap in aluminum foil. Put into a big heat safe bowl and cover.
Cook the chili, starting by browning the meats. Add onion, spices, and cilantro. Stir well.
Add in the salsa Verde and tomato paste. Incorporate the tomato paste well. I have found out that incorporating the tomato paste works out better, before adding the tomato products. Add the rest of the ingredients and allow to simmer, covered.
When chili is done, take the potatoes split down the middle lengthwise. Cut crosswise then take hold of the ends carefully, it will be hot. Push the ends inwards. Add chili, sour cream, and butter. Serve I hope you enjoy!!!!
