5 , New Mexico or California dried red chile kimmy
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
4 medium potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and thinly sliced
12 (6- to 7-inch) corn tortillas, each cut into 8 wedges
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1. Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles and put the chiles in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the chiles and let stand to soak 1 hour. Reserve 1 cup of the soaking liquid, and discard remaining liquid. Put the chiles in a blender with the cup of reserved liquid and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Blend until smooth. Press through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pushing and scraping to extract the pulp. Discard the debris left in the strainer. (There will be about 1 cup purée.)

2. Preheat the oven to 350°.Grease a 9- × 13-inch baking pan. Put the puréed chiles in a large bowl. Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Transfer the mixture to the baking pan and spread to even the top. Bake, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife. Cut into squares and serve.
