Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450℉.
  2. Wash and peel potatoes and cut into discs. I like mine the same thickness and texture as steak fries. Crunchy, crust-like outside and a fluffy mashed potato-like center. It makes me weak in the knees.
  3. Spray or rub with your favorite oil (olive, avocado, coconut, etc...) and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  4. Lay potato slices flat on a wire cooling rack or grilling rack and set on top of a reflective baking sheet. This will allow both sides to cook evenly on both sides and eliminate the need to flip the chips.
  5. Place baking sheet on the center rack and bake at 450℉ for 25-30 minutes. They're done once they start to bubble and turn golden brown on the surface.
  6. Remove tray from oven and cover with grated cheese. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
  7. Add all your favorite nacho toppings and dig in!

Notes

  • Add bacon, shredded chicken, or pulled pork for a meaty version.
  • For a vegan dish, omit cheese and use salsa, guacamole, and vegan sour cream as toppings.
