Ingredients

Baked Grilled potatoes:

  • 4 potatoes
  • Oil
  • 1/2 pound butter

Potato sauce:

  • 1 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper

Fried Gator:

  • 2 pounds gator tail cut into chunks
  • Buttermilk
  • Flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 16 ounces vegetable oil
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
  • Sliced green onions, to garnish

Directions

Wash and coat potatoes with a little bit of oil. Pierce each potato with a fork, wrap in tin foil, place directly on hot coals, and cook for approximately 45 minutes. Use tongs to turn potatoes often.

In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients to make the potato sauce, and mix well.

In a large bowl, toss the gator chunks into the buttermilk, and dredge with flour that has been seasoned with salt and pepper. Using a large skillet, heat oil to 350 degrees F. Fry gator chunks until golden brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Split potatoes and top with butter and potato sauce. Top potatoes with 2 pieces of fried gator chunks on top and sprinkle with cheese and green onions.

    Too much mayo

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    We made the sauce for baked potatoes... no gator (love it though). Hubby liked it, but it was too much of a mayo taste for... me.Read more

    awesome sauce

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I actually didn't put the "gator" on it. I don't even know where I could get something like that in the NW. But that sauce... is the best! That is my favorite way to eat baked potatoes now. Thanks so much!Read more
