Ingredients
- 3 lbs potato russets or potato of choice, (approximately 5 large) peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1-2 jalapeños (seeds removed, diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 oz cream cheese (1 brick, at room temperature)
- ½ cup milk ( or cream, at room temperature)
- 2 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon salt (divided)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 lb Bacon (chopped into bite sized pieces)
- ¼ cup green onion (thinly sliced)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- ½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoon green onion (thinly sliced)
- ½ jalapeño (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Place the 3 lbs potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon salt and bring the water to a simmer over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the bacon and jalapeno mixture. In a large non-stick pan on medium heat cook the chopped 1 lb bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain excess fat. Remove the excess fat from the frying pan, leaving 2 teaspoon in the pan.
- Add the 1-2 jalapenos, ¼ cup green onion, 4 cloves garlic into the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes or until fragrant. Set it aside.
- Drain the potatoes in a strainer and set the strainer over the hot pot to evaporate the excess steam and water.
- Put the potatoes in the pot, and reduce the heat to low, then add the melted 2 tablespoon butter, 8 oz cream cheese, ½ cup milk, and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Stir in the jalapeno mixture and cooked bacon, reserving 3 tablespoon of bacon for garnish.
- Season to taste with additional salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper as needed.
- Garnish with remaining bacon, ½ cup cheddar cheese, 2 tablespoon green onion and sliced ½ jalapeno. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
