GATOR TATERS

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



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.

ngredients:

2 pounds alligator tail meat
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic
1 cup chopped bell pepper
2 (15-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can tomatoes and chili pepper
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon sugar
2 beef bouillon cubes
salt and pepper

Sprinkle meat with garlic powder and Creole seasoning. Place in a covered dish. Add half of the onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and lemon juice to meat and let marinate overnight in refrigerator. (This step is optional — if desired, just sprinkle the meat with the garlic and Cajun seasoning.) Remove meat from marinade (save marinade for later) and fry in vegetable oil in a skillet until meat is brown. Place meat in a 6-quart pot. Drain vegetable oil, leaving about three tablespoons in skillet. Add the rest of the onions, celery, garlic and bell pepper. Saute until tender. Add vegetables, marinade and all other ingredients to meat. Cook for 45 minutes on medium heat. Season to taste and serve over rice.
