Potato nachos are definitely a top favorite meal in our house. They are totally customizable and very versatile, so each person can have fun making their own nacho creation however they want!


These nachos are super nutritious, filled with long-lasting carbohydrate energy from crispy potatoes. They will become a dinner staple that everyone can get excited about!




RECIPE

Makes 2 large servings:


Potatoes:

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick discs

  • Spices of choice (Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, paprika)


Preheat oven to 425 degrees.


Rinse potato discs under cold water and dry with a towel.

Or, you could prep the potatoes ahead of time by slicing them in the morning, placing them in a bowl filled with cold water, then cover and keep in the fridge until you're ready to cook dinner.


Place dried potatoes on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle on some salt, pepper, and other spices that you enjoy. My favorites to use are garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and paprika.


Drizzle potatoes with some oil, or leave off if you prefer.


Bake for around 30 minutes, or until potatoes are getting browned, puffed up, and crispy.


Now, add whatever toppings you like! You can use any toppings that you would put on regular nachos or a baked potato.
