MARY JANE'S POTATOES
Our Aunt Mary Jane made these potatoes at a family reunion back in '76 and they have been a family staple ever since! They go great with anything, and are so easy! I recommend any waxy potato, as russets etc. tend to be too dry.

JULIENNE SCALLOPED POTATOES
I make this at least twice a month, an easy scalloped potatoe dish that you can make into a traditional French gratin by adding 1 teaspoon each dried thyme and minced garlic and replace the Cheddar with Gruyere Cheese. You can also replace the whipping cream with 3/4 cup fat-free chicken broth making this a lighter, more healthful dish - without sacrificing the taste.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and place in a large saucepan of boiling water. Boil about 25 to 30 minutes, or until tender. Drain, then return to empty pot. Place over medium heat, tossing and stirring the potatoes to expel all moisture, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher. When free of lumps, add butter, salt and pepper. Continue mashing until well mixed.
- Mixing vigorously with heavy whisk, add the warm milk. The longer the potatoes are mixed, the fluffier the potatoes will be. Serve immediately, with extra pepper and butter, if desired.

JALAPENO POTATOES
Wonderful cheesy flavor with a slight kick from the jalapenos. The pimiento and jalapenos add a nice color contrast to the pale orange sauce. Use your discretion with the amount of jalapenos. You can also sub 1/8 to 1/4 cup chopped hot mixed peppers. It's best to use a waxy-type potato so they will keep their shape.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sweet potatoes, butter, pineapple, and maple syrup in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Combine well, using a potato masher. Place in oven, and bake until bubbling, about 45 minutes. Top with marshmallows, and continue to bake until marshmallows are soft but not completely melted, about 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Bliss for a creamy texture. For a firmer texture, use russet potatoes.
- Parboil the Potatoes: Parboiling helps create a fluffy interior and crispy exterior. Always start with cold water and bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. Season the potatoes thoroughly before roasting to enhance their flavor.
- Roast at High Temperature: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F or higher) to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Use a Large Baking Sheet: Avoid overcrowding the potatoes on the baking sheet. This helps them roast evenly and prevents steaming.
- Toss the Potatoes: Toss the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the sheet to ensure even cooking and browning.
Conclusion:
Jane's Potatoes are a classic side dish that can elevate any meal. With the right technique and attention to detail, you can achieve crispy, flavorful potatoes that will impress your family and friends. Experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create your own unique variations of this versatile dish. Remember, the key is to parboil the potatoes before roasting, season generously, and roast at a high temperature. Happy cooking!
