It's been years since I've been to a Taco Johns. They just don't have them on the East Coast. Yes, I know we have pierogies and cheesesteaks and hoagies, but my GOD, sometimes, I just want some damn nachos and potato oles from Taco Johns.
I tweeted about how much I miss those potato oles - they are little crispy crown potatoes that have this fantastic spicy yet a hint of sweet seasoning.
Someone was kind enough to send on a recipe for homemade potato ole seasoning. I tried it out today, and it is fabulous! Granted, it's been awhile since I've had them, but they satisfied my craving! Ole!
I used Ore Ida Crispy Crowns - but I suppose they'd work on tater tots too!
Cook Crispy Crowns as directed.
While cooking, mix:

I am the same way... I moved from Iowa to Florida and recently made a trip back to Iowa for a few days. On my "List of things to do" was eat at 5 different restaurants that are nowhere to be found in Florida... Taco Johns was one of those places and for lunch one day - I ordered a pound. That's all. I LOVE their potato oles and that seasoning!
