Delicious Potato Nachos Recipe for Game Day

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • 1 cup jalapeños (sliced, pickled or fresh)
  • 1 cup black beans (cooked and drained)
  • 1 medium red onion (diced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Potatoes

    Slice the peeled potatoes into thin rounds and place them on a baking sheet.

    Try to keep the slices uniform for even cooking.
  3. Bake the Potatoes

    Drizzle the potato slices with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

    Flip the slices halfway through baking for even crispness.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings

    Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over them. Add jalapeños, black beans, and red onion if using.

    Layer the toppings for a better melt.
  5. Final Bake

    Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Keep an eye on it to avoid burning the cheese.
  6. Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve with sour cream.

    Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
