Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 4 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 large Jalapeno (seeded and finely diced)
• 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into evenly sized wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned potato wedges evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.

Step 5

Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 6

While the wedges bake, prepare the cheddar jalapeno dip. In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk. Stir continuously until smooth and warmed through.

Step 7

Add the shredded cheddar cheese and minced garlic. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated.

Step 8

Stir in the diced jalapeno and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes for a spicy kick. Add additional milk if needed to adjust the dip’s consistency.

Step 9

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 10

Remove the crispy potato wedges from the oven and serve immediately with the warm cheddar jalapeno dip.
