Time 1h5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 -5 medium size red potatoes, quartered
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 slices bacon, bite size pieces
5 -6 roasted garlic cloves, minced (roast in oven on 450 for approx. 30 min.)
1 jalapeno, finely chopped (seeds and ribs included)
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon butter
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
canola oil
extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place garlic in foil and wrap tight. Place in 450 degree oven and roast 30 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water and liberally add salt. Set heat to high and let potatoes come to a boil for about 15 minutes until fork tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium size pan add chopped bacon and drizzle a tablespoon of canola oil on top to separate bacon. Fry until crisp and remove from pan. Place on paper towel to drain fat.
  • Turn heat to medium low, add butter and extra virgin olive oil and add the onion. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder. Cook for 7-8 minutes then add the jalapeno and roasted garlic. Cook until onions are sweet, not caramelized. Should only take 15 minutes total. Set aside.
  • Drain the potatoes and return to pan. Add a little more salt and a generous portion of pepper. Add the butter and warm milk *microwave for 30-45 seconds until warm*. Mash with potato masher.
  • When the potatoes are smooth add the onion, jalapeno, and garlic mixture. Mix together bacon then add the cheese until melted.
  • Make any other adjustments with seasonings to your liking!
  • Enjoy!

The roasted garlic flavor really shines through in this dish. I roasted the garlic for a little longer than the recipe called for, and it was perfect.
