Our favorite appetizer at Chili's is their Texas cheese fries. Pretty much every time we eat there, it's on the agenda. So, when I noticed a massive jar of jalapenos in the refrigerator, I got an idea. And it was a good one, therefore, I shall share:
Texas Cheese Fries
1 Idaho baking potato, cut but not peeled
Peanut or veggie oil for frying the potato/es
Salt and pepper to taste
6-12 jalapeno slices (the pickled ones do fine)
About 1/4 c. cheddar cheese
1-2 snipped green onions
Fry potato/es until golden and crispy. Place in oven-safe dish and add salt and pepper, jalapeno, cheese, and finally onion to garnish. Bake at 350 until cheese is melted. Serve hot with a buttermilk ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
I really wish I had taken a picture of this before it was devoured. I don't like jalapenos, so I pick mine off and give them to my husband. These would make a fantastic Superbowl snack, especially since you can make multiple recipes at the same time.
Any other imitation recipes of which I should be aware?
