  Roast the chiles and peppers by the Open-Flame Method.
  Peel the chiles and peppers, pull off the stems,
  remove the seeds and veins, and set aside.
  In a medium saucepan, parboil the potatoes in boiling
  water with 1 teaspoon of the salt until tender.
  Puree the green chiles and then the red peppers
  separately in a food processor until smooth.  Mix the
  purees together, add the potatoes and stock, and
  process in 2-cup batches for another minute, or until
  smooth. Add the remaining salt, the pepper, and garlic
  and process again. Press the puree through a fine
  sieve. Heat the puree in a saucepan. Serve hot,
  garnished with tumbleweed greens.
