Prepare the chili. (Chili can be made ahead of time and refrigerated; reheat before serving.) Over medium-high heat, in a medium stock pot, cook the beef, onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until meat is no longer pink. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 5 more minutes.<\/p>\n<p>2. Prepare the potatoes. Over medium-high heat, in a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil until hot. Carefully add the frozen potatoes. Cook potatoes, stirring and lifting the bottom ones so they all cook evenly, for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Oil the bottom of a large Dutch oven or soup pot; place the pot on top of the potatoes to weight them down (place something in the pot to serve as a weight&#8211;a brick or two works well). Cook potatoes, weighted, for another 4 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>4. Remove brick and soup pot; invert potatoes onto a serving platter. Top potatoes with the hot chili. Garnish with your choice of chopped green onions, minced jalapeno, baby corn and chopped red pepper.<\/p>\n<p>Estimated Nutritional Analysis per Serving: 495 calories, 53 mg cholesterol, 22 g fat, 819 mg sodium, 24 g protein, 52 g carbohydrates<\/p>\n<p>* The Estimated Cost per Serving is a calculated estimate based on a national food average and assumes the preparer already has ingredients like salt, pepper, cooking oils, assorted spices\/condiments and other traditional staples readily available in the home kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Post from: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\">Blisstree<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blisstree.com\/articles\/chili-topped-fried-idaho-potatoes\/\">Chili-Topped Fried Idaho Potatoes<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a great recipe to serve during the football Bowl games?
