My love of Cheesey Potatoes

sep72fendr

allowed me to get free Taco Bell today for lunch. They didn't have any prepared and I ended up waiting 5 minutes (instead of 35 seconds) for my food.
AWE.SOME.

Creepy manager dude brought out my food to my car and gave me a cash refund and fumbled his words about "badexperiencepleasecomeagaineatthepotatoeswhiletheirhot".

So. Good Day so far.
How are all of yours going?

That's funny........and I love those things.  Have you tried the potato taco thing they have?  It's surprisingly REALLY good. 

Snippylynn

lol... weird.

I had taco bell for lunch too!! AND I had cheesy potatoes as well!! so much goodness. 

sep72fendr

Stack- I haven't, but I can imagine that it's like a TacoBellGasm in my mouth with cheeseypotato goodness.

Rosie109

That mixture of cheese and sour cream? oh sweet baby jesus.

I've never had the cheesy potatoes.  I'm actually not that big of a Taco Bell fan.  Back in my hometown they have Mighty Taco, which I think is the best thing ever.  So I tended to shy away from Taco Bell.  However, on the few drunken nights we ended up in their drive thru, I do love their chicken nacho cheese chalupas.

I tried the potato taco on Thursday and I wasn't a fan.  I do like the cheesy potatoes though.

And I'm embarassed that I LOVE the 5-layer beefy burrito (5 layers for only 99 cents!  Such a deal!).

Bahahahahah! Love it! I just wish they would bring the scallions back for them. That was the best part of them!

Rosie109

Is it bad that I really want to try the xxl chalupa? not like I am on a wedding diet or anything

kikibaby

Just say no, Rosie.  It's a freaking BOWL of Chalupa.  That is just wrong.

doctabroccoli

I had Taco Bell for lunch yesterday....  I love me some chili cheese burritos and mexican pizzas.  I haven't ever tried any of their potato products!

kikibaby

OMG MUST GO TO TACO BELL.   

Thanks a lot.

Snippylynn

I never really liked Taco Bell and this kind of grosses me out.  Also, when did they start carrying potatoes?

<div>Sometimes the only thing that stops me from eating some food items is that I don't know how to eat it. That would definitely be one of those items. </div>

TACO BELL HAS POTATOES???

sep72fendr

Hahah Amoro, they've always carried these cheesy potato things for as long as I can remember. Just mexican seasoned homestyle potato chunks with nacho cheese sauce and sour cream (the original had green scallions on them). They are just amazing.

And Rosie- no harm in eating a xxl chalupa. I think that might be my next big venture from there.

Stackeye210

Those XXL Chalupas look gross.  And Kiki I can see why someone might not care for the potato taco, but I love, love, love the baja sauce so it makes it a win in my book! 

Amoro - not sure, but they've had potatoes for a while now - maybe like 2 years or so.  It's just like fried potato squares with nacho cheese and sour cream on them. 

kikibaby

Yeah, I'm not sure what the proper procedure would be to eat an XXL Chalupa.

You and my H both.  He is obsessed with Baja sauce.  I found a recipe online once to make it but never tried. 

kikibaby

My H loves that special blue Mountain Dew they have.

It doesn't help that FI is all elitist liberal about food and doesn't like fast food very much.*

*thats a joke based off of the thread where a poster said something calling herself an elitist liberal and it made me want to poke my eyebawwwls out. 

WildRumpus

I went to Taco Bell this weekend, and they were out of Baja Blast Mt Dew. Such a sad day.

kikibaby

I'm trying to figure out what an elitist liberal believes in.  That sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Snippylynn

Huh.  Well, 2 years would definitely cover the length of time I've been gone. Since I don't make an effort to go there when we're home, I wouldn't have noticed.

salt78

The thought of Taco Bell makes me want to hurl. 

I'm definitely a liberal elitist when it comes to fast food.

kikibaby

Snippy- what is something you crave when you come back to the states?

Yeah try being part of that conversation and not wanting to scream.

Rosie109

Oh sorry guys. I meant to say he is one of those liberal elitist intellectuals.

emilyinchile

Kiki, I belive that would be gay marriage and designer shoes. And if that's the case, then sign me up.

Mexican food, not Taco Bell. :D  It's less now that we can find good stuff here.  Oh, and breakfast stuff.  Pancakes and maple syrup and sausage. nomnomnom
