Recipe By: Susan
2 cup mashed potatoes -- hot or cold
1/2 cup fresh chevre cheese
1/2 cup crumbled cotija -- feta cheese or goat cheese
1 can (4ounces) diced green chilies
1 tablespoons chopped green onion
Salt
About 1 pound fresh poblano chilies (also called pasillas 6to 8 -- equal
sized) rinsed

In a bowl, use a fork or mixer to blend potatoes, chevre, 1/4 cup cotija,
canned chilies, onion, and salt to taste. Wearing rubber gloves cut
poblanos in half lengthwise. With a knife, cut seed lump from beneath the
stem inside each chili, leaving stem end in place (to form a cup). Pull
out and discard veins. Fill chilies equally with potato mixture. Set
chilies in an oiled 9-by13 inch casserole, filling it. Cover tightly with
foil. Bake in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, Sprinkle with the
remaining 1/4 cup of cotija, and return to oven. Bake until stuffing is
dotted with brown, 20 to 25 minutes longer. Serve chilies with a wide
spatula. Add salsa and salt to taste.
