Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
about 1/3 cup of milk, add gradually, just enough to mash
1 eight ounce brick of pepper jack cheese, hand grated
1 level teaspoon cumin
kosher salt to taste
coarse ground black pepper
dollop of sour cream
lime wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Wash and peel the potatoes.
  • 2. Cover with about an inch of water, and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring the potatoes to a boil over medium heat. Cover and lower the heat and cook until tender. Don't overcook. Drain well.
  • 3. Mash with a hand mixer. Add the cumin, salt and pepper to taste. Start adding the milk and whip until smooth.
  • 4. Add the Pepper Jack Cheese and stir it into the whipped potatoes until the cheese is melted and well mixed.
  • 5. To Serve, put mashed potatoes in a bowl and ask guests to add a dollop of sour cream and squeeze a lime wedge over each serving. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are best for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and become fluffy when baked.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the potatoes.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the potatoes from sticking together.
  • Use a good quality pepper jack cheese: This will give the potatoes the best flavor. You can use mild or hot pepper jack cheese, depending on your preference.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: This will prevent the potatoes from cooking evenly. If you need to use two baking sheets, that's fine.
  • Watch the potatoes closely while they are baking: They can burn easily, so it's important to keep an eye on them.
  • Serve the potatoes hot: They are best when they are fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Pepper jack potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for potlucks, parties, or weeknight dinners.
