Baked Potato Nachos

Nachos in any form are okay in my cookbook, my family loves ’em. They don’t always have to be served on tortilla chips, though. These insanely delicious Baked Potato Nachos use potatoes in a way you may not have thought of before specifically for making nachos. Nachos are one of those appetizers that you can be creative and have fun making.

These nachos are best served straight from the oven.
Have fun with the toppings and add the protein of your choice such as taco beef, shredded chicken or pulled pork.
Top these nachos with the cheese of your choice. You can use pepper-jack for a little kick as well as a generous dollop of fresh guacamole or a generous drizzle of my avocado lime ranch dressing. They can be filled and over-filled that’s the fun of it, it’s completely up to you.

We love these with a variety of toppings, the sky’s the limit. I’m especially partial to serving with pico de gallo, crumbled bacon, sour cream, crumbled queso fresco and pickled or fresh slices of jalapeno peppers.

When I want to surprise my family and friends, I leave the chips in the pantry, and serve nachos on crispy taco seasoned potato wedges. It’s a sharing dish and a great conversation starter which makes it a fantastic way to begin any party. For more nacho fun, checkout my Parade article featuring 21 Creative Ways to top Nachos.
