Time 1h46m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 slices bacon
6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
¼ cup butter
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels; crumble into small pieces.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Layer potatoes in the prepared casserole dish.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add jalapeno peppers, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour until smooth. Season with salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in milk, stirring until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove sauce from heat. Add Colby-Monterey Jack cheese gradually, making figure 8 motions with a spoon until cheese is melted. Pour sauce over potatoes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Top with bacon.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I usually add a bit of extra cheese and spices to taste.

These scalloped potatoes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I should have added more spices or maybe used a different type of cheese. The potatoes were cooked perfectly though.

These scalloped potatoes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a Mexican cheese blend instead of cheddar and it gave the dish a nice kick. Will definitely be making these again.
