Salsa Verde Taters

Salsa Verde Taters
A deliciously tasty dish, tangy and mildly spicy.
Goes great with almost any smoked or grilled meat.

Preheat oven to 400°
2 x 28oz bags of Southwest Style Hashbrown Taters, enough to fill a 9x13 casserole dish 1/2" below rim
***Use diced hashbrown potatoes NOT shredded***
1x 15.7oz jar of Herdez brand Roasted Salsa Verde
1 med white or yellow Onion, diced
1 small can of minced Green Chiles, drained
1 large Bell Pepper, diced
1/2c Cilantro, chopped
1T Garlic, minced
Salt, Mexican oregano and cumin
A generous amount of queso Fresco, Cotija or Anejo can be crumbled atop in the last 1/2 hour (optional).

To make this Side Dish into a Casserole, just add a precooked meat.
I recommend grilled and shredded chicken or pork, Mexican chorizo works good too.

Add the onions, bell pepper, green chiles and garlic to the taters, and then brown in bacon grease.
Then it's time to add your meat if preparing a casserole.
Fold the salsa verde into the mix and layer evenly into your baking dish.
Cover with foil, then into the oven to bake at 350° for an hour till bubbling hot.
Once bubbling hot remove foil and add cheese, return uncovered to the oven till the cheese is melted.

Thanks Al.
This was my first time throwing this together, next time I'm adding lots of chopped bell peppers, green chile and maybe some cilantro.
This will probably be a good casserole too, by adding pork or chicken.

Looks great Chile, One question is it thick or runny on the plate?

Point for sure.

I am going to try this one, so my post is for reference. I don't like onion so ill be swapping for peppers.

looks great btw

A person could not go wrong by crumbling a wheel of Queso Fresco atop this.
Or by adding a cubed or shredded meat thus turning it into a full blown casserole.

pulled pork and cheese would be a great addition

Chile that looks great. Do you have any preference for the brand of salsa verde?

Homemade whenever possible, but unfortunately that is seldom.
Thankfully I like the Herdez brand of canned products, their salsa verde, casera and other items, e.g. Chipotle Chiles in Adobo sauce.

Dinner tonite was a version of my Salsa Verde Taters side dish with chicken added for protein.
