Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Place the garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, smoked paprika, milk and cream in a saucepan and bring to a slow simmer over low heat. Simmer for 8-10 minutes.
  • While the milk simmers, saute the shallot and jalapeno in the butter until soft. Add to the milk mixture. Remove the crushed garlic clove.
  • Butter the bottom of a small gratin dish or baking pan. Layer half the potatoes nicely in the dish. Cover with a light sprinkle of cheese.
  • Pour over half the milk mixture over the potatoes. Layer the rest of the potatoes on top of the first layer, cover with the remaining cheese and pour over the rest of the milk.
  • Bake uncovered until the potatoes are cooked through and the surface is browned, about 40-50 minutes.

    Oh yeah - what a great way to "spice up" the usual cheese-y potatoes. I'm lovin' this one, and wish I'd had it a couple weeks ago when I, too, had one lonely jalapeno in the fridge AND the end of some manchego cheese...oh well, now I have an excuse to go buy some more. Thanks, luisa!

    That smoked paprika is quite the kick that I love.
    Five forks and a smile :)
