MEXICAN POTATOES WITH CHEESE - PAPAS CON QUESO
This is another simple yet delicious authentic dish from Zacatecas Mexico that my mother taught me how to make! It is important to know that this recipe won't work well if you don't use queso fresco. You must use this type of cheese specifically for the recipe to incorporate well, other wise it wont come out. Makes a great side dish.

MEXICAN POTATOES WITH CHEESE SAUCE
This recipe comes from "Preserved" by Nick Sandler and Johnny Acton. I haven't made it, but it sounds like a good vegetarian main dish or go with anything side dish. The recipe calls for 8 potatoes, but the authors fail to specify a size or weight. As there is no instruction to cut or slice the potatoes, my guess is that you'll need 8 medium potatoes or between 1 and 1 1/2 lbs, depending on how and what you plan to serve this with.

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.
