What cheese can I use??

[coteau_chick]

I have a recipe for jalapeno potatoes that I make every year for Christmas and Thanksgiving. The cheese I use is Kraft garlic roll cheese. Well, Kraft discontinued it . I tried making it with Velveta and it didn't come out good. I tried using pepper jack and it was a little better but not the same. I have been making this recipe for nine years. I used to make it with one half roll jalapeno cheese and one half garlic cheese but a few years ago the jalapeno cheese was discontinued. I just started using a whole roll of garlic cheese instead and poured jalapeno juice on the potatoes to make up for not having jalapeno cheese. If anyone is familiar with the Kraft garlic roll cheese and knows another cheese that would taste similiar please tell me. I can use plain cheese and pour jalapeno and garlic juice on the potatoes. I just need to find a similiar cheese.

How about the white Mexican cheese- the one used in queso dip? It comes in bulk packaging, or in a dip container. The queso dip comes in mild or hot versions.

Maybe if you included the recipe (hint, hint ), we could tell what kind of cheese is best. Is it mostly a melted cheese poured on top? The recipe does sound good!

I have to admit I had never heard of garlic cheese roll by Kraft. So I did some searching and found this recipe. Hope it helps you out.

Garlic Cheese Rolls
1 1/2 pounds sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 pound processed cheese product such as Velveeta
3 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Garlic powder to taste

Soften cheeses and mix all together well. Shape into four rolls and wrap well in foil or plastic wrap.

Maybe add more jalapenos if it's not enough and possibly add your own garlic to the recipe to counteract the lack of garlic cheese.
