Are you gearing up for a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta?
HH & I had a little celebration earlier this week so I could share this fun “Fry-Tot-To” recipe
Just in time for Cinco de Mayo 🎉
We were celebrating a picture perfect day on the coast after a severe squall pounded the area a few days before
This poor little bromelaid was almost blown out of it’s pot!
We didn’t have any damage, but Mother Nature had fun rearranging the furniture 💨
You can make the Roasted Corn & Sausage Queso and serve it over potatoes on a sheet pan, or as a dip with potato dippers
But I had a different presentation in mind
Bake the potatoes first and while the potatoes are cooking, throw the queso together, it’s easy peasy
I roasted the corn earlier in the day and cut it off the cob, or you can use leftover grilled corn, canned or frozen corn
Brown the sausage, drain on paper towels, and pour off grease, leaving just a little to brown the garlic
After garlic browns, 1 minute or so, add cream and cream cheese to skillet and stir to melt
Add cheddar
In minutes you will have a creamy dreamy queso
Season to taste with taco seasoning, chili pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, whatever you prefer
Add sausage, corn back to skillet and jalapênos or green chilies if that’s the way you roll 🌶
Top your cooked potatoes with the corn and sausage queso and return to a 350-400 oven for 15 minutes to heat through
Garnish with corn, scallions and avocado, chopped tomatoes, jalapênos or whatever you desire
