Ingredients
  

2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup crumbled bacon (cooked)

2 fresh jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)

2 green onions, sliced

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully coated.

      Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender.

        While the potatoes are roasting, in another bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon until well combined.

          Once the potatoes are done roasting, let them cool slightly, then add them to the cheese mixture along with diced jalapeños and sliced green onions.

            Gently fold everything together until the potatoes are well coated in the creamy jalapeño mixture. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

              Transfer the potato salad to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for an added pop of flavor (optional).
