Nacho Potato Slices For Two Recipes

MEXICAN POTATO NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Pour 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into a large bowl; toss the potato slices in the oil to coat.
• Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potato slices are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• While potato slices are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; brown the ground beef in the hot oil, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain excess grease.
• Mix the black beans into the ground beef; stir in the taco seasoning and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the flavors have blended, about 10 minutes.
• Arrange the potato slices on a serving platter and sprinkle with half the Cheddar cheese.
• Top the potatoes with the meat and bean mixture; sprinkle the remaining cheese on the nachos.
• Spread the lettuce out over the nachos and garnish with tomato and dollops of sour cream and guacamole.

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine potatoes, oil, Mexican seasoning, and garlic salt together in a bowl; stir to coat potatoes completely. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are crisp and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a plate and top with Mexican cheese blend, black beans, diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, and green chiles.

OVEN POTATO SLICE NACHOS

Steps:

• Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch thick, then arrange in a single layer onto a large greased baking sheet/s.
• Sprinkle both sides with seasoned salt (or white salt) and black pepper.
• Place 4 inches from broiler heat and broil until golden brown; turn over the slices and broil other side of slices until browned and fork-tender.
• Remove from oven and top with taco sauce, green onions, chilies, shredded cheese and sliced olives.
• Broil until the cheese has melted.

POTATO NACHOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F
• Clean and scrub potatoes, then chop them into thick wedges.
• Combine potato wedges, oil (you want just enough to coat the potatoes), garlic powder, and taco seasoning in a baking dish. Stir until well combined.
• Spread potatoes out into a single layer and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown with a crispy outside. Stir occasionally during the baking time.
• While potatoes are baking, combine the black beans, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally, cooking until the majority of the lime juice has been absorbed.
• Remove beans from heat and mix with the tomato, green onion, and green chilies.
• When potatoes are done, remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Return to oven for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow cheese to melt.
• Sprinkle with bean mixture and serve. We enjoy them with just the bean topping, but you could also serve with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole too!
