Ingredients List
Here’s what you need to whip up these tasty taters:
- 2 pounds of potatoes (russet or Yukon gold work great)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 jalapenos, diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions to Prepare
Alright, let’s get into it! Follow these simple steps to make your Jalapeno Popper Mashed Potatoes:
- Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes into chunks. Put them in a pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and let those potatoes simmer until they’re tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- While the potatoes are cooking, take a separate pan and sauté the diced jalapenos on medium heat until they soften up, around 3-4 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain them well and return to the pot. Add in the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and milk.
- MacGyver your way through by mashing everything together until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Stir in the sautéed jalapenos and sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Finally, transfer your mashed potatoes to a serving dish, give it a little sprinkle of green onions for that flair, and get ready to dig in!
Now you’ve got a side dish that’s sure to impress. Serve it up hot, and watch those smiles light up the room. Enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!
