Another spicy dish from Texas Tables

Provided by Lynnda Cloutier

Categories     Potatoes

Number Of Ingredients 10

2½ lbs russet potatoes, clean ed and peeled
1½ cups heavy cream
1 egg
2 jalapeno peppers, minced
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1 tsp minced fresh basil
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 oz
½ cup shredded monterey jack cheese, 2 oz

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425. Cut potatoes into 1/8 inch thick slices. Mix the potatoes, cream, egg one of the jalapeno peppers, thyme, basil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Mix well. Spoon half the potato mixture into an 8 x 8 inch baking dish. Sprinkle with half the cheddar cheese, half the Monterey Jack cheese, and the remaining jalapeno peppers. Layer with remaining potato mixture, remaining cheddar cheese and remaining Monterey Jack cheese. Bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender, covering with foil to prevent overbrowning. Add additional cheese for a cheesier flavor. You may substitute Gruyere cheese for the Cheddar cheese and green onions for the jalapeno peppers. Serves 4

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, waxy potatoes, such as baby potatoes or red potatoes. These potatoes hold their shape well when cooked and won't get too mushy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. If you do, the potatoes will steam instead of fry and won't get crispy.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is the best pan for cooking these potatoes. The cast iron skillet will evenly distribute the heat and help the potatoes get crispy.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes are done cooking when they are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. Overcooking the potatoes will make them mushy.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: These potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno cheddar potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy, cheesy, and flavorful, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a new side dish or main course, give these jalapeno cheddar potatoes a try. You won't be disappointed!
