Loaded potato nachos

Nachos are one of those recipes you can make and know that just about anyone will enjoy. And it’s SO easy too! My Cheesy Macho Nachos recipe is what I tend to make if I want more traditional nachos. Sometimes though, I like to change things up and use potato slices in place of tortilla chips like I’ve done in this recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Nachos!

This recipe for Loaded Baked Potato Nachos follows the same principal as traditional nachos except I use potatoes and smother them with all of my favorite baked potato toppings – lots of melty cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and diced green onions. The result is a cross between nachos and a baked potato, two things I absolutely love!

Be sure to shred your own cheddar cheese! Fresh cheddar cheese melts so much better than the pre-shredded kind from the grocery store. All you need is a simple box grater. Also, I recommend cooking your own bacon so that you have real bacon crumbles. Add a dollop of sour cream to the top and you’re left with cheesy Loaded Baked Potato Nachos.

*Tip: Make sure that you evenly cut the potato slices for the best result. I used my food processor to get even slices. You can certainly use a knife, but cut them as evenly as possible, otherwise they will not cook evenly.
