Ingredients:
4 potatoes |
oil |
1/2 pound butter |
1 sweet onion, chopped |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup sour cream |
salt and pepper |
2 pounds gator tail cut into chunks |
buttermilk |

salt and pepper |
16 ounces vegetable oil |
1 cup grated cheddar cheese |
1 cup grated monterey jack cheese |

Directions:
1. 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.
2. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients to make the potato sauce, and mix well.
3. 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.
