Ingredients
- 2-3 large russet potatoes, washed, sliced into ⅛-inch thick rounds (about 2 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups (226 g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded, diced for garnish
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced for garnish
- ¼ cup sour cream, for garnish
- 1 medium shallot, diced for garnish
- 2 green onions, diced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F* and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (We used 2 baking sheets.)
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- In a large bowl add sliced potatoes, olive oil, and seasoning mixture. Toss to evenly coat.
- Place potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheets.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Then, flip the potatoes and bake for an additional 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle them with cheese and bacon. Return the potatoes to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted.
- Top with jalapeno, tomato, sour cream, shallots, and green onions.
Notes
*Air Fryer Instructions:
- Season the potato rounds.
- Place the potatoes into the basket of your air fryer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to work in batches.)
- Air fry at 360°F for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping the potatoes every five minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and top with cheese and bacon.
- Line the basket of your air fryer with parchment paper.
- Again, working in batches, place the nachos back into the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
