I don’t
eat at Boston Pizza very often, but when I do I always get the Cactus Cut
Potatoes. They are crispy and spicy and they come with the most amazing dip. My
brother in law found a copycat recipe online for the dip so I gave it a
whirl.
It
is perfect!! This dip is to die for; it tastes just like the stuff at BP!
I
decided to bake my potatoes instead of frying them, just to cut the fat a wee
bit.
What
you need,
For
the dip:
6
tbsp. sour cream
1
cup Caesar salad dressing (I used Kraft creamy Caesar)
1 ½
tbsp. finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½
tbsp. finely chopped green onion
¼ tsp.
dried chili flakes (if you like it spicy you could add in a little more)
For
the potatoes:
2
large russet potatoes, washed and sliced thinly
3
tbsp. olive oil
Salt
and Pepper to taste.
In
a medium bowl mix together the sour cream, Caesar dressing, Parmesan cheese,
green onion and chili flakes.
Refrigerate
for at least 2 hours to let the flavours come together.
Preheat
your oven to 400 degrees. Grease 2
baking sheets.
Toss
the sliced potatoes with the olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Lay
out the slices on the baking sheets in a single layer leaving a little space
between each slice.
Bake
for 8-10 minutes on the first side, until golden, then flip and cook another 8-10
minutes until golden on the second side. I got mine a little crispier than I should
have so watch them close.
Serve
hot with the dip.
Thank
you Ryan, for finding this recipe, it is so good.
I
know I am going to be making it WAY too often.

ok! now i make potato's like this often but didn't have the dip! omg the dip! i am gaining weight thinking about it! damn u did it again!!
ReplyDeleteJust a tip for everyone. The actual cactus cuts are soaked in jalapeño juice before baked/fried. Try it, makes this recipe absolutely delish!
DeleteI didn't know that! I knew the potatoes were spicy but I didn't know they used Jalapeno juice. Good to know. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteGreat recipe plan girly, I totally eat the crap out of it all the time! My doctor says that i should stop but its like a drug! One bite and you're sucked in for life!
ReplyDeleteCould you be so kind and share a link to other resources that open up this topic of course if you know any of them.
ReplyDeleteI have a question about the quantity. I'm having a potluck Sunday and we're going to be 8 people. So do I need to double or triple the recipe? Were gonna be 3 girls and 5 guys and they loved it when we ate at BP last time.
ReplyDeleteHi, I would say double the recipe for sure for 8 people. I am sure you are having other food too so doubling it should give you lots! Enjoy!
