JALAPENO POTATOES



Jalapeno Potatoes image

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.

Provided by Sam Sifton

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large baking potatoes, like russets
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 pound lump crab meat
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon mint leaves, shredded
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced
4 tablespoons sour cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese.

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.

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. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can easily create crispy, flavorful jalapeno potatoes that will impress your taste buds. Experiment with different seasonings and toppings to find your favorite combination. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe that packs a punch, give jalapeno potatoes a try!
