Ingredients
  

For the Nachos
  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes Choose starchy varieties for the ultimate crispy base.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Lightly brush the potatoes for a crispy finish.
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese High-quality sharp cheddar is best for melting.
  • 6 slices Bacon Cook until crispy; turkey bacon for a lighter option.
  • 1 bunch Green Onions Adds fresh flavor to balance richness.
For the Creamy Topping
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter alternative.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook crispy bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until golden and crunchy. Transfer to a paper towel to drain excess grease and chop into small pieces.
  2. Thinly slice the Russet potatoes and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch. Drain and dry each slice with paper towels.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange dried potato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Layer the crispy potato slices on a large platter, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese, bacon pieces, and green onions.
  5. Set the oven to broil and place the nachos back in for 2-3 minutes, watching closely as the cheese melts.
  6. Let the nachos cool slightly, then top with sour cream and any additional toppings like jalapeños or pulled pork.
