Time 55m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds Peewee potatoes, rinsed
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup minced yellow onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
12 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, shredded
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup roasted peppers or pimientos, drained and finely diced
1 large pumpernickel bread boule
2 each red, yellow and orange sweet peppers, cut into triangles

Steps:

  • Cook the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Toss the potatoes in enough olive oil to coat in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour onto a sheet pan. Bake until the potatoes are golden, crispy-skinned and soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, make the cheese dip: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Whisk in the mustard powder, paprika, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt; cook for an additional 2 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the top and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk. Simmer, whisking occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Add the Cheddar and stir until it melts, then add the cream cheese. Once all the cheeses are melted, stir in the roasted peppers. Season with black pepper to taste and additional salt, if necessary. Keep warm on low heat or in a double boiler.
  • Putting it all together: Turn the boule over. Carve out the boule in large chunks, leaving a 1-inch wall. Cut the hollowed-out boule chunks into 1-inch cubes or 2-by-1/2-inch batons.
  • On a round platter, arrange the bread like logs or firewood, then arrange the pepper triangles on top. Set the boule in the middle. Scatter the roasted potatoes around like rocks. When ready to serve, pour the warm cheese dip into the boule. ENJOY!

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups freshly grated sharp Cheddar
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces diced pimientos, drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
Crackers and assorted crudités, for serving

Steps:

  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the chives. Serve with crackers and assorted crudités.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality pimento cheese: This is the key ingredient in the dip, so make sure you use a brand that you like. Look for a pimento cheese that is made with real cheese, not a processed cheese product.
  • Add some heat: The amount of heat you add to the dip is up to you, but a little bit goes a long way. You can use cayenne pepper, chili powder, or even a hot pepper jelly.
  • Don't overcook the dip: The dip should be heated through, but you don't want to overcook it or the cheese will become tough. Just heat it until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: Crackers, vegetables, and chips are all great options. You can also serve the dip with bread or tortillas.
