Do you ever get tired of using chips in your Nachos? No, you don’t?? Neither do I..haha! 😉
But, let’s face it.. sometimes it’s totally fun to turn an appetizer or basic TV watching snack into a hearty side dish, or even a lite meal! Potatoes make great “chips” for Nachos! They’re strong, tasty and go oh sooo well with Bacon & Cheese! And what a perfect way to use up those leftover Baked Potatoes just sitting there silently begging for attention!
Not to mention that they’re a veggie..so you know what that means..yep, these are healthy! 😉
You can jazz up these Nachos however you like. The firm Potato slices can even stand up to some pulled pork for a BBQ style Nacho platter..Mmm!
The possibilities are endless! Switch up your snackin’ and give these tasty taters a try! 🙂
What you’lll need:
As many (fresh or already baked) Potatoes as you think you can handle!
1 lb. crispy & crumbled Bacon
1 tbsp. Cumin
1 tbsp. Chile Powder
Olive or Vegetable Oil
A large Zipper baggie
Your favorite Nacho Toppings..
Directions:
Peel and slice up the potatoes into about 1/4″ disks
Add them into the Zipper bag and drizzle the oil into it, then add the spices & shake it up, until all the taters are evenly coated!
Grill them up until they’re golden on both sides (may take a bit longer if you started with raw Taters)
Start layering them with the cheeses and toppings.
Put them into the oven at 350 for a few minutes to melt together (may take a bit longer if you started with raw Taters)
Serve up an ooey-gooey cheesy plate full and dig in! ~Enjoy! 🙂
Oh my yum. There is far too much awesome in this post. I don’t think I can stand it!
LOL Kim!! 🙂
Oh, Amy!! These look absolutely incredible!!!! I want them NOW (even though I just overate at breakfast! Great job and the pics. are so very inviting!!
I love you! Well I love these and my daughter will be in heaven when I make these for her, probably tonight! New fan here, can’t wait to look around!
What a great idea! This is making me drool!!
UM, this is a fantastic idea. I love this!! I’m dying to try it now!
These are wonderful! I hate when chips get soggy in nachos so this seems like a great trade off
This is the best looking, most appealing dish I’ve seen in a while. I cannot wait to make these.
Maureen..THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That is SO nice of you to say, I hope you love them as much as we did! 🙂
Seriously you rock!! Found this recipe in pinterest *of course*this and bbq chicken is dinner tonight…
Aww thank you! I’m so glad you found me! Let me know how you like them! 🙂
Will these work on a George Foreman grill? How long you think to cook them. I have a hard time getting potatoes done when I fry them.
I have a hard time with that too..I suggest using already baked potatoes and slicing them! 🙂
Looks soooo yummmy! I will def try these! thanks for posting!
I would SO love to have you share this recipe, and a photo if you choose, with my readers on my Best Potato Recipes website:

TGI Fridays has something similar and i was trying to make them but they use “homemade potato chips” by frying them..i like your idea better! They get a wonderful smokey flavor from the grill, and less fat! You could also use a white pepper cheese topping too..like the dip…I am making them tonight to go with soup!
some green onions too…mmmm
YUUUMMMMM These look outstandingly delish!!! Going to make them for dinner tonight Thank you x

Try using can Potatoes….. They are allready cooked to the perfect consistancy and a lot easier and faster to grill…. Just make sure you cut them lengthwise 🙂
