Gator Taters

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.
