A mix of potato and sweet potato. so quick and easy, tastes like it’s in the pub. Except that we cook them in the oven and don’t fry them.

Please use real cheese

Instead of using melted cheese or even foraged cheese, I decided to make the cheese jalapeño dip using real cheddar cheese and simple ingredients.

More spice

You can adapt or change the recipe for our cheese sauce in many different ways. I added an extra helping of parmesan, tomato paste, and jalapeños to the cheddar. Feel free to add chili peppers, garlic powder or even some cumin. Some chopped spring onions or a few dried and finely diced tomatoes would also work. Experiment and have fun.

Here are some tips to make the cheese and jalapeño dip with the potato wedges a success

  • let the flour cook quietly in the butter for a minute or two. This will eliminate the “floury” taste
  • use straight cheddar for a creamy dip. Chili cheddar and what else to buy today might make the dip lumpy
  • remove the saucepan from the heat before stirring in the cheese. So don’t overheat the sauce after adding the cheese or it won’t burn or get lumpy. If heat then only low heat to completely melt the cheese
  • do not use cheese that is already grated. This sometimes contains many additives that are supposed to prevent sticking, for example. This can have a negative effect on the taste of the cheese dip.

  • To make it easier to arrange the potato wedges in the casserole dish, first sprinkle the remaining cheese into the dish so that the potatoes can stand up well.

  • Bake again in the hot oven for about 10 minutes.
