Mexican Potatoes With Cheese - Papas Con Queso

"This is another simple yet delicious authentic dish from Zacatecas Mexico that my mother taught me how to make! It is important to know that this recipe won’t work well if you don’t use queso fresco. You must use this type of cheese specifically for the recipe to incorporate well, other wise it wont come out. Makes a great side dish."

  1. This was so good. I used two chipotle peppers instead of the jalapeños and a mixture of Oaxaca, Menonita and cotija cheese.
