Green Chile and Potato Stew

This is one of my favorite quick stews to make in the fall and winter for those rainy days or days that you don’t feel very well. It can be spicy if you want to make it that way, and it’s super comforting and full of flavor. It’s also something I make that reminds me of saying goodbye to summer and welcoming fall.

In the Southwest Hatch green chilies are in season in August and finding fresh roasted green chilies can be found at the store. You can always use the diced green chilies in the can that are more accessible throughout the year, although it will have a different flavor and won’t be very spicy. Either way, both version are delicious!

We usually will make something to go along with this like quesadillas, tacos, etc. if it’s going to be dinner. Otherwise it makes a good lunch with some chips and salsa or tortillas.
