Ingredients

For the potatoes

1 pound small yellow potatoes sliced ¼-inch thick
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the toppings

1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
¼ cup green onions sliced
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, then place it in the oven for 5 minutes once preheated.
Toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and smoked paprika until well coated.
Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Top with green onions, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with parsley if using. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

Slice the potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate and crisp up perfectly.
Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure the potatoes get crispy instead of soggy.
Let the cheese fully melt before taking the nachos out of the oven for the best gooey texture.
For extra crunch, broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes after adding the cheese.
Get creative with toppings! Try diced avocado, crispy fried onions, or a drizzle of ranch dressing.
