Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 medium Fresh jalapenos
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 4 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Peel the potatoes and chop them into 1-inch cubes.
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, finely dice the jalapenos. Remove the seeds if you prefer less heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes, butter, milk, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the diced jalapenos and 3/4 cup of the cheddar cheese.
Transfer the mashed potato mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
