Ingredients


Chipotle potatoes

2 large baking potatoes1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2–3 tablespoons milk
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Finely chopped fresh chives, for garnish

Chimayo chile sticks  

2 tablespoons ground New Mexican red chiles, preferably
Chimayo
́chiles1 tablespoon ground cinnamon1 tablespoon sugar2 teaspoons ground coriander1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Olive oil
4 New York strip steaks



Method

1. Make the potatoes: Bake the potatoes at 350°F until just done, 30 to 40 minutes. Cut the potatoes        in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh, reserving the skins. 
   Using a hand mixer, whip the potatoes with the chipotles, garlic powder, and just enough milk to         hold them together. Salt and pepper to taste.

2. Scoop the potatoes back into the skins and hold in a low oven while you prepare the steaks.

3. Make the steaks: Prepare the grill for direct grilling. Combine the chiles, cinnamon, sugar,                  coriander, salt, cumin, and thyme in a small bowl to create a dry rub.

4. When the grill is hot, brush the steaks with olive oil and liberally coat with the dry rub. Grill the          steaks, turning often, for 12 to 16 minutes for rare (internal temperature 140°F, or 15 to 20 minutes      for medium-rare, 150°F). Or slice open to check for doneness.

5. Serve the steaks with the potatoes, garnished with chives.
