Gator Bites

We love Gator Jacks. We like to get Da Mudder'n'Law and then we share these Gator Bites. I love that they give you a free cookie, too. I've just always had a great experience at that restaurant. Well, a few months ago, potatoes were the only food item that sounded good to me (oh the joys of pregnancy!) so off we went to Safeway to get the ingredients to make these. They look simple enough and you can probably guess the ingredients, but what makes these fantastic is the sauce you dip them in! We had someone on the inside reveal the secret ingredients (Chris's sister worked there for a little while). Anyway, these are sure to satisfy anyone who loves potatoes!

INGREDIENTS:
Bacon bits
Cheese
Bag of Small 2-bite-size potatoes*
Sriracha sauce
Mayo

DIRECTIONS:
Boil the potatoes. How? Add enough water to a saucepan to cover the potatoes. Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt to the water and bring to boiling over high heat.

Add the potatoes and return to boiling. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover the pan with a lid. Cook the potatoes in boiling water until tender, about 15 minutes for cubed potatoes or new potatoes and 20 to 25 minutes for quartered potatoes.

Drain the potatoes in a colander.

Remove potatoes from colander and put them on a big plate.

Sprinkle with lots of cheese and bacon bits.

Microwave until the cheese has melted.

Make the sauce by mixing mayo and Sriracha to the degree of hotness you can tolerate.

Dip potatoes in the sauce and enjoy!

It is embarrassing that I am from Idaho and I just had to Google what potatoes you should buy for this dish (it didn't help me much). Just pick smallish yellow-looking ones like in the picture! Sorry!
