Jalapeno Potatoes image

This is a wonderful recipe from "Texas Home Cooking" by Bill and Cheryl Jamison. When I serve this, DH forgets about anything else that is on his plate. It's great! (When I make this I reduce the corn oil by 2 Tablespoons).

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 lbs baking potatoes, peeled
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons corn oil, unrefined
1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
8 green onions, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces pimientos, drained and diced
1/3 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno pepper juice
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups evaporated milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by at least 1 inch.
  • Add the salt.
  • Cook the potatoes over moderate heat until they are tender (about 25 minutes).
  • Drain the potatoes, allow to cool.
  • When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, slice them very thin.
  • Preaheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Grease a large baking dish (9x13).
  • Warm the butter and oil in a sacuepan over medium heat.
  • When the butter has melted, add the bell pepper, onions and garlic, and saute them until they are softened.
  • Stir in the pimientos, the jalapenos, and the jalapeno liquid.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables; mix it in well.
  • Pour the milk in gradually, stirring to avoid lumps.
  • Simmer briefly until the mixture is thickened.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated cheese, mix well.
  • Alternate layers of potatoes and sauce in the baking dish, ending with some of the sauce.
  • Cover the dish tightly, and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and much of the sauce has been absorbed.
  • Serve the potates hot.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I left it out of the recipe. They were still really good.

I'm allergic to peppers, so I used a mild salsa instead of the jalapeños. They were still really good.
