Standard scalloped potatoes, that is potatoes layered with cheese sauce and baked until bubbly, get a flavorful update with the addition of one star ingredient: GOYA® Los Andes – Amarillo Pepper Paste. Known as Ají Amarillo in its native country of Peru, this yellow pepper paste has a delicious, almost fruity pepper taste balanced with its slightly spicy flavor. Here, we mix the pepper paste into a creamy cheese sauce then bake it alongside potatoes. The result: a delicious classic made extraordinary.

Step 1

Heat oven to 425°F.

Step 2

In medium pot over medium heat, melt butter; add 1 tsp. olive oil. Whisk in flour. Cook, whisking often, until mixture forms smooth paste, about 2 minutes. Mix in Sazonador Total and Hot Yellow Pepper Paste until well combined. Slowly add milk, whisking constantly until smooth; increase heat to high. Bring milk mixture to boil, whisking occasionally to prevent lumps until mixture forms smooth sauce, about 5 minutes. Remove pot from heat. Stir in 2 cups cheddar cheese until melted.

Step 3

Grease 2-quart casserole dish with olive oil. Arrange about 1/5 potato slices in one layer on bottom of casserole dish so potatoes are slightly overlapping. Spoon about ½ cup cheese sauce over potatoes and spread until evenly coated. Repeat layering 4 more times, and top with any remaining cheese sauce.

Step 4

Bake, uncovered, until potatoes are very tender, and sauce is bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove dish from oven, cover with remaining cheese. Set oven to broil. Transfer dish to top oven rack and broil until cheese is melted and browned in spots, about 2-5 minutes. Transfer dish to cooling rack; let cool about 5 minutes. Serve.
