Green Chile Potatoes au Gratin

Perfectly sliced Yukon gold potatoes are bathed in a rich, creamy mixture of heavy cream, sharp Parmesan, and fiery green chiles.

This gorgeous side dish was introduced to me by Chef Ernesto Duran while he was the head chef at The Corn Maiden Restaurant in the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico. Green chile simmers together with parmesan cheese, garlic, cream and potatoes in the oven until crispy – spicy, rich, smooth and absolutely delicious.
