Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Potatoes
If it has to do with the filling, jalapeno popper was a no brainer. Mainly because I am hooked on jalapenos, but because cream-cheese, jalapenos, bacon & cheese have a tendency to go well with potato.
Can you use jarred Jalapenos?
Regrettably pickled or jarred jalapenos aren’t acceptable for this particular recipe. The vinegar or brine soaks to the curry and supplies an odd taste as soon as they’re cooked. Fresh jalapenos all of the way!
How much Jalapeno to use?
By experience, jalapenos differ a great deal in their own spice levels, therefore it is almost always a tricky one. After testing this a few occasions I discovered 2-3 jalapenos hit sweet place of not too hot, not too gentle. However function to taste and reduce/increase as vital.

Notes
- Fresh Jalapenos – Jarred or pickled Jalapenos are not appropriate for this particular recipe. I’ve attempted and the brine soaks to the potatoes & supplies an odd flavor in the end.
- Spice amount – it is really hard to forecast how hot a jalapeno will be, in my experience they differ quite drastically. I have tested this recipe several occasions and discovered 2-3 (deseeded) jalapenos hits the sweet-spot. Not too hot, not too gentle. But please don’t to adjust as necessary increase/decrease quantity of jalapeno to taste.
