How do I thinly slice potatoes?
The first step to making these sweet potato nachos is to slice the potatoes thinly. You can slice your potatoes a few different ways:
- With a mandolin slicer. I love my slicer, but do make sure to use the vegetable grip so you don’t accidentally cut your finger!
- You can also use a food processor if you have one that will slice.
- A simple sharp knife will do if you don’t have either of these machines. Just be careful of those fingers!!
Step-By-Step Photos and Directions:
My secret “hack” to get crispy potatoes is to brush olive oil onto each slice and bake them for 10 minutes before topping them.
For this baked sweet potato nacho recipe, I used Ro*TEL spicy tomatoes and refried beans. However, you can use your favorite refried beans and chunky salsa if you prefer.
You only need sweet potatoes, shredded cheese, Ro*TEL or salsa, refried beans, and cilantro to create these nachos. Garnish with sour cream, guacamole, and scallions!
Take a large sweet potato and slice it thinly. Brush olive oil on each slice, then bake the sweet potato slices for 15 minutes.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Top with beans and Rotel. You can verify if Rotel is Gluten Free.
Finally, top with cheese and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes.
Can I fry the potato slices?
You can fry the potatoes if you want your potato nachos to be really crispy!
When should I serve nachos?
These nachos are the best hot right out of the oven! These nachos make a delicious appetizer for game day or any party!
