JALAPENO POTATOES
Wonderful cheesy flavor with a slight kick from the jalapenos. The pimiento and jalapenos add a nice color contrast to the pale orange sauce. Use your discretion with the amount of jalapenos. You can also sub 1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped hot mixed peppers. It's best to use a waxy-type potato so they will keep their shape.

JALAPENO POPPER MASHED POTATOES
I wanted to make mashed potatoes with a spicy kick, and since we had a lot of jalapenos and cream cheese needing to be used up, and because we love jalapeno poppers, I came up with this recipe. The fiance ate 3 servings and asked me to make this every time we have mashed potatoes! They were a little spicy but they were the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Scrub potatoes under running water; dry them, and rub the skin of each with the oil and a little salt. Pierce the skin of each in three or four places with the tines of a fork.
- Place the potatoes in the oven, and roast for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the potatoes, until they offer no resistance when a knife is inserted in their centers.
- While the potatoes are baking, lightly toss the crab meat in a bowl with the lemon juice, olive oil, shredded mint, diced jalapeño and sour cream.
- When the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven, slice them open down the middle and use a spoon to scrape out their flesh into a bowl. Add the butter, salt and pepper and mash to combine. Spoon the mixture back into the empty jackets, place on a baking sheet, top with the crab-meat mixture and shower with cheese. Return to the oven for approximately 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, opt for Yukon Gold or russet potatoes.
- Cut Potatoes Uniformly: Ensure even cooking by cutting potatoes into uniform sizes and shapes.
- Soak Potatoes: Soaking potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch, resulting in crispier potatoes.
- Use Fresh Jalapenos: Fresh jalapenos provide the best flavor and heat. If using dried jalapenos, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before use.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and crispy potatoes.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings. Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a flavorful dish.
- Cook Potatoes in Batches: If cooking a large quantity of potatoes, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet prevents potatoes from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Flip Potatoes Frequently: Flip potatoes frequently during cooking to ensure even browning and crispy texture.
Conclusion:
Jalapeno potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or main course.
