Introduction
I first thought this a strange combination when I saw this on the menu on an Alaskan Cruise. The head waiter told me to try it; that I wouldn't be dissapointed. True enough, it was amazing! The cruise ship didn't have the recipe in their cookbook, but I found a similar one easily enough online. This is now one of my family's favorites.

Ingredients
-
2 1/2 lbs Potatoes (about 5 potatoes) peeled and chopped
2 Tbsp Margarine
1/2 cup Chopped Onion
4 cups Chicken Broth (99% fat free)
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
2 Tbsp* Chopped Jalapeno Peppers
2 cups Evaporated Milk (nonfat)
1 1/2 Tbsp Salt
2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Baking Soda
Directions
Melt the margarine in large pot and saute chopped onions on medium heat. While they're sauteeing, start peeling cutting up your potatoes.
Once the onions have turned clear, add the potatoes, chicken broth, and cumin. Stir and bring to a boil. Then cover, reduce heat to medium, and allow the potatoes to cook until they soften enough to eat (about 20 minutes).
After the potatoes have cooked, remove the pot from the heat and add the chopped jalapeÃąos, a pinch of baking soda, and the evaporated milk.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher (or a large fork if you don't have a potato masher) while they're still in the pot. Stir thoroughly and add the salt and pepper.
Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring often.
*2 tbsp of jalapeno is spicy, adjust more or less to your taste. I have used both fresh and canned jalapenos, fresh does give a better flavor, but canned works perfectly fine. I do think canned gives a bit more spice though!

I made this today for lunch and it was great! And so easy to make too! I used some homeade veggie stock and I fell short of the lowfat evap milk, so sub. with 2% milk. I used 1/2 of the salt and pepper and that was just fine for us. I put a whole fresh jalepeno(seeds removed) & it was fine for us. - 10/28/11

Mmmmm bueno! I added minced garlic & bout 1/2 C taco cheese. 2 fresh jalapeņos w/seeds was very spicy so I may use 1-1/2 next time. We love spicy! I used skim milk cause it's all I had & I'll be sure to use evaporated next time to make it creamier. Love this & it's going to be a favorite!! - 10/7/11
