You'd never think I was trying to detox this month...
Because I'm not.
I'm a food blogger. A food pornographer. About as close as I can ever attempt to get to detoxing is the six hours I'm not eating or drinking because I'm asleep. And who knows? I could be a sleep-eater. They don't put lights in refrigerators for people to eat during the daytime.
But I do understand that most, if not all, of the people in and around my delicious life are detoxing in some form or another, so I'm just going to call this dish a Baked Potato Salad. It paired extraordinarily well with my *ahem* Sparkling Grape, which, as you know, is usually, the number 1 or number 2 on Juice Cleanse.
Irish Nachos
Joxer Daly's in Culver City uses thick French fries as the "Irish potato" base. I have seen Irish Nachos made with skinny French fries and baked/roasted thick-cut potato rounds, but my personal preference is sturdy kettle potato chips.
serves 1 as a pig, 4 as a Super Bowl snack
Ingredients

a few handfuls shredded cheese

Spread cooked French fries or potato chips on a very large, oven-proof plate or tray. Cover with shredded cheese and crumbled cooked bacon.

French fries, cheese, sour cream and bacon? Thanks! I think... Detox is so not happening in January despite my best efforts.

Timmy Nolan's in Burbank makes a nice version with cubed potatoes that are almost like home fries
