HAVE LEFTOVERS? HERE'S WHAT TO DO!
Let's say you find yourself with leftover sliced baked potato nachos. What should you do? Well, first you should thank your lucky stars because what the heck?! That never happens to us.
Just place any leftover nachos in an airtight container, store in the fridge, and then reheat in the oven at 350° for around 15 minutes. You can microwave them if you're feeling extra ravenous, but they'll probably come out soggy!
WE'RE OBSESSED WITH THESE SLICED BAKED POTATO NACHOS
Okay, we've probably kept you waiting long enough, and after seeing these pictures, we bet you're hungry! So, here we go, you guys. Let's make some loaded baked potato nachos!
Sliced Baked Potato Loaded Nachos
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- sliced green onions and sour cream to garnish optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Slice potatoes about ⅛ of an inch thick. We used a food processor, but you do not have to! Just try to keep them as even as possible, so they cook evenly.
- Drizzle the bottom of a large baking sheet with olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper. In a single layer, lay out all of the slices of potatoes, and top with a drizzle of oil oi salt, and pepper. Depending on the size of your potatoes, you may need two baking sheets!
- Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake for an additional 12-15 minutes. If your potatoes are a little thicker, you may need to let them cook for a bit longer. You want a nice, light golden brown color. They will continue to crisp for a few minutes after they come out of the oven.
- You can top your potatoes with cheese right on the baking sheet, move to an oven-safe serving dish, or pile it up in a cast-iron pan. Your choice! Top with the cheese and cooked bacon and place it back in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until melty and hot.
- Top with desired garnishes and enjoy!
And there you have it! The best way you'll ever use up your leftover potatoes. Whether you serve this at a party or make it your dinner, you won't be disappointed!
