This weekend we decided to have a casual dinner outside with some Oven Baked Ribs, local green beens and roasted potatoes. Our farm share this week gave us three beautiful poblano peppers so we decided to make a traditional Mexican side dish typically served in a taco with sour cream, or as a side dish topped with cheese. If you are looking for a spicy potato side dish for your next BBQ or cookout? You will love these Roasted Potatoes with Poblano Peppers known as Papas con Rajas in Mexico.

Yum! I would have never imagined putting potatoes and poblano peppers together, but it sounds so tasty. I am definitely going to make that as one of our side dishes. Pinned!
