Kentucky Hot Browns 5.2.09

In honor of the 135th running of the Kentucky Derby, we had Kentucky Hot Browns and Spicy Baked French Fries for dinner.

Kentucky Hot Browns
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 cup milk
Dash of salt
1/4 tsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 oz sliced roast turkey
4 slices bacon, cooked
4 thin slices ripe tomato
4 slices whole wheat toast
grated Parmesan

Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Whisk in milk, salt, worcestershire and cheese and cook, stirring constantly until thick. Arrange turkey on the toast and cover with cheese sauce. Place under broiler until sauce begins to bubble. Garnish with tomatoes and bacon and sprinkle with a little parmesan. Serve immediately.

Spicy Baked French Fries
2 large baking potatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp paprika (I used smoky paprika)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp onion powder

Preheat oven to 400^ F. Peel and cut potato into long strips. Combine remaining ingredients and toss with potato strips until well coated. Place on baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.

My opinion: The Hot Browns were OK but I didn't like the "fries" at all. They were overcooked and I didn't care for the seasonings, but John said they would be good if they hadn't cooked so long.
