The ultimate in 'election returns' snack food! I must admit, that I really enjoy watching the election returns and, since I get a feeling similar to that you get when watching your favorite team play for a bowl title, it is a situation that requires the appropriate food. This is not a time for a proper dinner consisting of a meat, a starch and a veggie. Absolutely not! This is, however, the perfect occasion to practice up on your favorite football fare....Super Bowl, after all, is only a few months away. This is my morphed version of the two favorite foods that I can not get enough of....french fries and nachos. (Drum roll, please) May I introduce you to the supremely sophisticated French Fry Nacho platter! Frozen crinkle cut french fries, cooked in the oven according to the directions on the package, then topped with cheddar and mozzarella cheese, chopped tomato, jalapeno and onions. Then shoved back in the oven for 5 or 10 minutes until the cheese resembles molten lava oozing down a mountain (of fries) and the whole thing becomes one homogeneous mass. A little drizzle of hot sauce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley doesn't hurt either!
These are sophisticated fries for sophisticated times. I love watching the pundits too. Even though it is highly addictive and not much happens the majority of the time. I love the parsley on top - nice touch.
