This recipe was inspired by a dish I created for my spicy Thanksgiving last year. Jalapeno Scalloped Potatoes were just so crave-ably delicious. We’ve had them many, many times since. When I’m seeking inspiration for new recipes I often ask my husband what he would like. He is usually very little help as “anything you make is good” is not the kind of statement that inspires new ideas. This time, however, he asked for a pizza with potato on it. At the mere mention of potato I immediately started salivating for those dang scalloped potatoes. Light bulb! I could totally turn that into a pizza!

Jalapeno Scalloped Potato Pizza: The creamy texture of scalloped potatoes, the crunchy texture of bubbly cheese on a pizza crust, and the spice of jalapeno.

If you wear contacts working with Jalapenos can lead to disastrous consequences. It has happened to me way too many times. I cut jalapenos for dinner, and then go to take my contacts out before bed and my eyes are absolutely on fire! Those jalapeno oils stay on your hands, even after numerous washings. In order to get them off you need to use a soap that fights oil and grease, like Dawn dish soap. Even if you aren’t taking out contacts, any interaction with your eyes can lead to a tearful experience of pure pain! Wash with dish soap. Save your eyes!
