LAST EDITED ON 03-01-10 AT 09:27 AM (EST)I made this yesterday afternoon. I cannot even begin to express how much we enjoyed it. It was out of this world. My favorite recipe thus far. I know everyone keeps describing it as tasting ‘fresh’ and it does! Crisp, creamy, deep flavor but still very light. My DH had no interest in the recipe at all. It’s just not up his alley...until I made him try it. Not only did he have a sandwich for lunch, he had a bigger sandwich for dinner --the same day! I kept asking him if he would change anything and he kept saying “No, it’s perfection.”
This is the type of recipe that you would serve at an informal baby/bridal shower or bring to a summer outing to impress the attendees. I liked it so much that since I have leftovers of the majority of the ingredients, I’m making it again this week. I just need to pick up some more chicken.
We made the fries seperately as I didn't have time before the game. I was a little leary of the whole egg white thing but follwed the recipe anyway. We used Tastefully Simple's season salt (waves to weltek) and they turned out REALLY well. We did cook the whole potatoes in the microwave for a couple of minutes first. We also put the baking sheet in the oven beforehand so when the fries hit the pan they started to cook and crisp immediately. Mmm! We didn't make the dipping sauce because we were pooped by that point.
I have a bunch of pics that I still have to upload. I’ll do that tonight. I was trying to make this, do laundry and get everything done in time to watch the hockey game which is why my ipod went through the wash.
Thank you qwertypie. It was truly wonderful and something that I NEVER would have tried on my own (or my DH for that matter.) In addition, I have decided to start an herb garden so I will have everything on hand to make this whenever. DH even pulled all the seeds out for me last night.
OTCCers, make this! You will not be disappointed. Pics to follow...
