For a milder flavor, use only half the can of jalapeños or substitute with a milder pepper such as Anaheim. If you like a smokier flavor, consider using smoked Cheddar cheese. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

03

In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's gently simmering. Gradually whisk in the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded Cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños to the sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (Cook time: 5 minutes)

Step
5 mins
Pour the cheese sauce over the sliced potatoes in the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated. Gently fold in the drained pimentos, scattering them throughout the mixture for a pop of color. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Step

Transfer the potato mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. (Bake time: 30 minutes)
