I was recently at Little Goat in Chicago, where we had a delicious cake called Cheesit Cake. The entire party was skeptical, but the waitress told us it was the chef’s wedding cake, so I ordered it, and everyone was glad I had. Maybe Frito cake will be next?
I have a recipe for shortbread cookies that has pecans and crushed potato chips. They are delicious and nobody can ever guess the “magic” ingredient. Are Fritos like potato chips?
Linda, would love that recipe.
Fritos have a lot more flavor than potato chips. And are, usually , a lot less straightforward. (Most potato chips are just potato, oil and salt. Fritos have a LONG list of ingredients – although they were probably very different in the fifties.)
Actually, Fritos have a very short list of ingredients these days: Corn, corn oil, salt. Someone pointed this out to me recently to convince me to choose them over Cheetos.

Yuk!

Amazed that the mid-century-food blogs haven’t tried these — though they’ve done other official Fritos recipes. Maybe they will now.
Veal certainly has gotten far rarer than in my childhood (Sixties into Seventies).

Mea Culpa. And thanks. Just shows how often I buy Fritos.
