TGI Fridays is well known for its tasty and generously portioned appetizers, and the new Loaded Southwest Potato Twists are no exception. The new dish consists of seasoned, spiral-cut potatoes, which have been loaded with warm poblano queso, various shredded cheeses, house-made pico de gallo, and chopped cilantro. The result is somewhat of a cross between nachos and loaded potato skins. In other words, it's the ultimate appetizer for sharing with friends and family. The new Loaded Southwest Potato Twists is a limited time menu item that's available now from participating TGI Fridays locations.
