Little Gasparilla Jalapeno Cheddar Potatoes are a fiery and gooey appetizer that is perfect for a game-night or a get-together with friends. The spicy kick of the jalapeno pepper combined with the richness of the cheese is a crowd-pleaser. These potatoes are a variation of the classic roasted potatoes that are usually flavored with herbs such as rosemary or thyme. However, the jalapeno peppers offer a unique twist and transform this simple potato dish into a spicy party favorite.

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2.	In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the peanut oil until the potatoes are well coated.
3.	Add the chopped green onion (if using), chopped jalapeno pepper, kosher salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes and stir well to combine.
4.	Spread the potato mixture evenly in a baking dish and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and lightly browned.
5.	Sprinkle the shredded white Cheddar cheese over the potatoes and return the dish to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
