Easy Baked Potato Nachos Recipe

Nachos in any form are okay in my cookbook. 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.

  • Prepare Pan – Preheat the oven to 425°F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Potatoes – Clean and cut the potatoes into wedges. Try to keep the potatoes similar in size for even cooking. Drizzle the wedges with olive oil then toss the wedges with the taco seasoning, onion powder and garlic powder. Season with salt and black pepper to your taste.
  • Transfer to Pan – Arrange on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes until crispy and fork tender. Turn once while cooking.
  • Cheese – Remove from the oven and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Arrange the black beans and black olives on top. Return to the oven for until the cheese melts.
  • Serve immediately with pico de gallo, crumbled bacon, sour cream, crumbled queso fresco and pickled or fresh slices of jalapeno peppers.

How to Make the BEST Baked Potato Nachos Recipe

  • Ingredients you’ll need to make Baked Potato Nachos: 4 pounds russet potatoes cut into wedges, taco seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, olive oil, shredded Mexican cheese, black beans, black olives, bacon cooked and crumbled, prepared pico de gallo, queso fresco, sour cream and pickled or fresh jalapeno slices.
  • Kitchen tools you’ll need: A large sheet pan or oven safe grill pan, sharp knife and cutting board, measuring cups and spoons and cheese grater.
  • These nachos are best served straight from the oven. Should you have any leftover store them chilled in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • 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.
