Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by at least 1 inch.
• Add the salt.
• Cook the potatoes over moderate heat until they are tender (about 25 minutes).
• Drain the potatoes, allow to cool.
• When potatoes have cooled enough to handle, slice them very thin.
• Preaheat the oven to 350°F.
• Grease a large baking dish (9x13).
• Warm the butter and oil in a sacuepan over medium heat.
• When the butter has melted, add the bell pepper, onions and garlic, and saute them until they are softened.
• Stir in the pimientos, the jalapenos, and the jalapeno liquid.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables; mix it in well.
• Pour the milk in gradually, stirring to avoid lumps.
• Simmer briefly until the mixture is thickened.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the grated cheese, mix well.
• Alternate layers of potatoes and sauce in the baking dish, ending with some of the sauce.
• Cover the dish tightly, and bake for 50-60 minutes, until the potatoes are soft and much of the sauce has been absorbed.
• Serve the potates hot.

TANGY JALAPENO POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a rolling boil.
• Peel or scrub the potatoes. Carefully add to the boiling water. Add the salt.
• Boil until soft but not too soft. We don't want them to fall apart when we mix in the dressing. 15-20 minutes should do it for small-medium sized potatoes.
• Drain and set aside to cool.
• After they have cooled, cut into small bitesized pieces, about a 1/2 dice, and place in a large bowl.
• In another bowl mix the sour cream, mayo, diced jalapenos, green onions and cilantro if using. (If you prefer, add the dressing ingredients to your food processor and pulse until smooth.).
• Pour dressing over the potatoes and gently toss to coat. (actually, I've found that after the intial toss, putting a tight fitting lid on the bowl and inverting it a couple of times mixes the salad pretty well without breaking up the potatoes.).
• Garnish with parsley and/or cilanto and/or grape tomatoes.
• Refrigerate until serving time.

• Pour the milk into a saucepan over medium heat; gradually whisk the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into the warming milk until smooth. Continue heating and stirring until the liquid is boiling and thickened. Add the Cheddar cheese and jalapeno peppers; cook and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Pour the sauce over the potatoes. Scatter the pimentos over the mixture; pour into the prepared dish.
