Blue Bayou Potatoes

3 pounds peeled and thin sliced potatoes
1 onion thin sliced
1 Tablespoon butter, for dish
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 T salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh thyme
2 Tablespoon granulated garlic, I use crushed instead
4 oz parmesan cheese

Mix potatoes, onion and jalepeno in butered baking dish. Mix cream,garlic,salt, pepper and thyme. Pour over potatoes and cover. Place in preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Remove cover and top with cheese. Return to oven 10 minutes or until golden.


The chef didn't actually give me an oven temperature he said you can vary it by what you are cooking it with, like a roast or chicken. He said it can range from 325 to 375.

bold is mine, I really want to make these for Christmas but I don't see jalepeno in the ingredient list and I don't remember tasting it in the potatoes at the BB?

Sorry, my recipe says 1T jalepeno finely chopped added to the cream.

When I first tried these potatoes at Blue Bayou 10+ years ago I asked for the recipe. At that time I remember the potatoes leaving a tingle on my lips. I asked the chef about them and he said there wasn't a lot added and most people don't notice. I have since taken it out of my recipe, which is why I probably unconsciously left it out. The last few times we went though I did not taste the jalepeno in theirs anymore either.

I frequently add more cream and of course extra cheese. They are marvelous reheated with a little prime rib thrown in or bacon of course!

Thanks so much, my family would probably enjoy the pepper bite but I'm fine with somethings in our menu not having any so I'll follow your lead and just leave it out.
