I trudged <strong>all the way<\/strong> around Qualcomm Stadium asking everyone I saw carrying them where to find them. Then all the way back to my seat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, oh my! was it worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It almost made up for the Chargers beating my Niners that day. Almost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Pesto Fries are even more delicious than garlic fries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homemade Pesto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can buy store bought Pesto, but I have no idea why you would want to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pop some fresh ingredients in the food processor and a few pulses later you have one of the most delicious sauces ever created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, a little extreme, but it is easy and I love Pesto on all the things: pasta, potatoes, eggs, vegetables, chicken, fish, pizza and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides when you make your own you control the amount of ingredients, and I find store bought pesto too oily for my tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pesto Fries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make Pesto Fries, just bake or fry up your favorite fries and toss them in the pesto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually use the frozen shoestring variety because the extra crispiness holds up well with the added sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can use any fries you like best.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-36156\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"36156\" data-servings=\"0\"><div
