I pickled/canned about four pounds each of jalapenos and carrots. But I had some peppers left over. Also I had shredded cheese leftover from yesterday’s burritos, and half a pound of bacon from yesterday’s dinner.
Well that sounds like the start of a wonderful dinner. Poppers would have been too much work. I have a bag of potatoes… Oh. Let’s do this. Jalapeno bacon potatoes au gratin.
Cost for pickled peppers: $1.30 per pint Cost per person for dinner: $3.40 (realistically I ate two full servings so this should really be $1.70 each for four people.)
my heart: please…please don’t
me: PREPARE YOUR AORTA
I’m sure they taste great, but my mind is seeing the science class at college with a shelf full of dead small animals in jars.
Is this still available? I love animals in jars.
I wanna try 🥺
Start three hours before dinner. Bake the bacon, dice some peppers and onions, slice some onions. Make a bechamel, add cheese. Layer pour, top with more cheese. Bake for 90 minutes. Let rest for 10. Eat.
Bake for 90 minutes
At what temp? That’s pretty long.
- All those potatoes piled in a 9x9 with the cheese sauce is pretty dense.
You don’t precook the taters?
For au gratin? Never. Extra steps, extra dishes. Just bake.
Cool, thanks for the recipe!
I absolutely love the idea of pickled jalapeños in potatoes au gratin. That sounds incredible!
Finally
absolute yum!!
