Excellent recipe. I loved the addition of the ancho chilies -- they gave the potatoes an added depth of flavor; but not a spicy peppery taste. The texture of the potatoes comes out very creamy vs. a firmer texture like typical mashed potatoes -- probably due to the addition of the beer. We loved this recipe and I will be serving this delicious dish again. Made for PAC, 2011.
