Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cube the potatoes. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

2

Roast the Potatoes

Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

3

Make Jalapeño Cream Sauce

While the potatoes are roasting, blend the chopped jalapeños, sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

4

Combine and Serve

Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven. Top with roasted green chiles and mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted. Serve hot, drizzled with jalapeño cream sauce and garnished with chopped chives.
