Creamy with a kick…
Your taste buds won’t know where to turn when you bring the bright spiciness of jalapeño peppers to the creamy heartiness of this scalloped potatoes recipe. Chili powder delivers additional heat with a touch of rustic earthiness, too. It’s an exceptional side with chicken, turkey, ham, or steak. But it’s so tasty, you may be tempted to eat it on its own!
