Polenta Tots Declared 'Super Bowl Solution' By Woman Who Has Never Watched Football
Local food writer and self-described “appetizer futurist” Connie Bridges has declared polenta tots the “only Super Bowl snack that matters,” despite having never watched a complete football game and admitting she’s “not totally sure how many quarters there are.”
“Four? I want to say four,” Bridges said Monday, while arranging tots on a handmade ceramic plate she described as “the real MVP.”
The recipe, which Bridges published on her blog Fork & Feeling, involves cutting chilled polenta into cylinders, coating them in panko and parmesan, and baking until crispy. She recommends serving them with a roasted red pepper aioli and “a sense of occasion.”
