Pie isn't just for dessert anymore. Stacking thinly sliced potatoes with layers of minced jalapenos and crumbled Cotija cheese helps turn ordinary spuds into something truly spectacular—especially when served with salsa and sour cream. —Colleen Delawder, Herndon, Virginia

Test Kitchen tips
  • If jalapenos are spicier than you'd like, toss them with a little vodka and let them sit for 15 minutes. Then drain, rinse and proceed with the recipe.
  • If you want perfectly sliced potatoes, use a mandoline.

    • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
