"This is a great German potato ricer. It's good and solid. You see, the potato goes in and you go schoooom and out she comes! I love great big things like this, it really works very well. Of course it all comes apart for washing, so it's a very practical instrument."
-Julia Child, Genius

The refrigerator light goes on...

You can use fresh jalapeno with this as well, mincing it fine. There's a slightly different flavor between the fresh and pickled with the fresh being spicier. If you do use fresh begin with less -- maybe only a teaspoon and adjust for flavor. The potatoes shouldn't be so spicy as to overpower any dish you might serve with them.

This recipe does not make very good leftovers.

2 quarts water
8 ounces red potatoes
1 ounce reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
2 Tbsp non-fat buttermilk
2 tsp reduced-fat sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tsp pickled jalapeno

Place the water in a large stock pot over high heat.

Quarter the potatoes and add to the stock pot. Cover with water by about an inch. Bring to boil and then reduce heat until the water is simmering.

Cook the potatoes about 15 - 20 minutes until slightly soft in the middle. They should give when squeezed.

Remove from heat and drain water. Add cheese, buttermilk, sour cream, salt, pepper and minced jalapeno. Mash potatoes until creamy.

I like to leave some chunks in my potatoes. If you like them smooth it is best to use a potato ricer because over mashing will result in pasty potatoes.
