DURANGO POTATO CASSEROLE

For those who like it spicy, it's easy to turn up the heat on these potatoes by adding more chili powder or jalapenos for extra kick. O.K. Although this looks tasty, it also sounds like a lot of trouble! A pan for cooking te potatoes, another for cooking bacon, another for baking?! Surely this could be modified for less mess. Cooking a dish before having to cook it again is a little much. But it not hard at all with leftover and less clean up on the dish to do.

8 bacon, strips (thick sliced)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
4 green onions, chopped
1/3 cup chopped green pepper
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 1/2 cups reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
  • 2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; set aside.
  • 3. Drain potatoes and transfer to a large bowl; add the tomatoes, cheese, onions and peppers.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lime juice, seasoned salt and pepper; add to potatoes and gently stir to coat. Transfer to a greased 9x13 -in. baking dish. Coarsely chop bacon; sprinkle over the top. Sprinkle casserole with chili powder.
  • 5. Bake, uncovered, at 350*F. for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with cilantro. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
  • My Note: It is great for breakfast or brunch, but it also is great served for dinner and guests love it! Don't be swayed from preparing this because of having to clean a few dishes and utensils. Any dish worth making is easily overlooked by having to clean up afterwards. I just clean as I cook, doesn't bother me at all.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for this casserole because they are starchy and hold their shape well.
  • Peel and slice the potatoes thinly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Bake the casserole until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help the cheese set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Durango potato casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is cheesy, creamy, and flavorful, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a side dish that will impress your guests, give Durango potato casserole a try.
