Jalapeno Potatoes

4.5
(41)

These jalapeño potatoes have a wonderful cheesy flavor with a slight kick from the jalapeños. The pimento and jalapeños add a nice color contrast to the pale orange sauce, too. Use your discretion with the amount of jalapeños—you can substitute 1/8-to 1/4-cup chopped hot mixed peppers. It's best to use a waxy-type potato so it keeps its shape.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 boiling potatoes

  • 2 cups milk

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeño peppers

  • 1 (2 ounce) jar chopped pimentos, drained

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

  2. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook until just tender, 15 to 18 minutes. Drain. Cool to the touch before peeling. Slice thin; transfer to a large bowl.

  3. Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth; cook and stir until boiling and thickened. Add Cheddar cheese and jalapeños; cook and stir until cheese completely melted. Pour sauce over potatoes; scatter pimentos over top. Transfer to the prepared dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are completely tender, about 30 minutes.
