Potato Nacho recipe

Earlier this week, I made my Taco Skillet recipe for dinner. I love making it because it leaves a ton of leftovers, and I can usually get at least three meals from it.

Last night, I made Potato Nachos using the last of the taco skillet leftovers. Wow, so good!

Potato Nachos Recipe (Great way to use up leftovers)

Everyone thought it was great, but I’ll have to keep it off the menu until I finish my diet. It’s way too hard to eat only one serving! I even made a separate dish for myself in hopes that would help me.

Ha, it’s the thought that counts, right?

Family’s version:

Here is mine: (I used low-fat cheese and a little less of the taco skillet mixture.)

I made these nachos using the leftover Taco Skillet and a little more shredded cheese.

Potato Nachos

Ingredients:

Potatoes:

  • 1.5 lbs russet potatoes
  • 1.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp Mexican seasoning blend

Toppings

  • If you are not using the taco skillet recipe, you can use just about any leftover meat (pork, chicken, or beef) or go meatless and just use beans.
  • 1 cup Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1/2 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes or chunky salsa
  • optional (1/4 cup corn, sliced black olives, sliced green onions, guacamole and sour cream

Instructions:

Potatoes:

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Scrub potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges.
  2. Place potatoes into a medium size bowl with the oil, garlic salt and Mexican seasoning. Stir well to coat potatoes with oil and seasonings.
  3. Transfer to a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring several times, until crisp and golden brown.
  4. Remove the potatoes from the oven and top them with the meat, beans, salsa, and corn.
  5. Bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
  6. Serve with optional toppings.
