Cooking Steps
-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Trim and quarter jalapeños lengthwise, removing ribs and seeds for less heat.
-
Toss potatoes on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
-
Roast on top rack until tender and golden brown, 20-25 minutes.
- While potatoes roast, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add jalapeños; cook until charred and softened, 2-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer jalapeños to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, roughly chop.
- In a small bowl, combine jalapeños and cream cheese.
-
Lay sourdough slices on a clean work surface.
-
Spread jalapeño cream cheese on half the sourdough slices. Spread jam on remaining sourdough slices. Top jalapeño cream cheese with cheddar; close to form sandwiches.
- Melt 2 TBSP butter and a drizzle of oil in a second large pan over medium heat. Add sandwiches and push around in pan until butter has absorbed. (For 4 servings, work in batches or use two pans.) Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese slightly melts, 4-6 minutes.
- Add 1 TBSP butter to pan, then flip sandwiches; push around again until butter has absorbed. Cook until bread is golden brown and cheese fully melts, 4-6 minutes. In the last minute of cooking, lower heat and cover pan to fully melt cheese.
-
Halve sandwiches on a diagonal and divide between plates. Serve with potato wedges, dressing, and ketchup on the side for dipping.
