Holidays, Fry-Tot-To for Cinco de Mayo!
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

That looks yummy! – And your view looks so relaxing! How I would love to live by the water.
I am hopelessly spoiled 😘
Well, I’m on no-fry during recovery so we’ll have to punt on this one. But it looks so delish!
Sorry to tempt you Jeanie, this dish is indulgent but at least the potatoes were baked not fried. I hop your fully recovered soon!
We had our little fiesta last night so I could write it up too which I haven’t done yet. Beautiful table and weather for yours Jenna. My sons would LOVE your dip! Happy Cinco!

Not exactly health food 🙂
You really spiced it up, and I fully intend to do likewise this weekend! Not as colorfully as you did, but the tequila will probably have me seeing colors later! 😆 I’m glad you didn’t suffer any substantial damage during the storm. Mother Nature has been on a real rant lately!
Thanks Alycia, yes bring on the tequila this weekend!!
How fun and yummy is this?!! Especially with a margarita! Woohoo!
Why do I love tater-tots so? I’ve been dreaming of Mexican food all week and don’t know if I can wait until 5/5 to indulge. I’m thinking if I eat tacos today, I’ll beat the crowd. Throwing tots into the mix . . . well, that may settle it!
That is one appetizing table! Lovely view, pretty table and great food!
Thanks Bonnie, the weather has been crazy this week and SO windy! I think it’s about to get back to normal. Happy Cinco de Mayo!
At his recipe looks like one my husband would love!!! Love the table, everything looks very festive.
I had hoped to do some tables outside, but our weather has not been very cooperative either.
What a fun festive table setting for Cinco de Mayo. I love the view from your table. Oh my! I can taste those fries dipped into the cheesy queso right now.
Oh yum Jenna, looks delicious. Lovely the table for two, perfect! We couldn’t believe the wind at the beach last week, wow. Hugs……
It was nice Wed but back crazy again today, I hope you had a nice time anyway! >
Terrific table setting for your early celebration and the food looks delish! I also like your faux margaritas – good idea to use the “right” glasses but use water with some garnish – much healthier!
Thanks Lori! We’re going to have the real thing tonight! >
Happy Cinco de Mayo Jenna! Have fun:@)
Happy Cinco de Mayo! Love your celebration with a view 🙂
I love your fiesta for two Jenna and pass the Fry-tot-toes to me! Hope you’re enjoying some sunshine at the Gulf. We’re wet and cool today with a lot of wind and rain overnight. Happy Cinco de Mayo 🙂
Jenna, such a fun table for two and a delicious-sounding recipe! I have been away from blogging for a little rest and I am way behind and trying to catch up with everyone! Happy Sunday!
Well doesn’t this sound amazing! PINNED! 🙂
