Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes
- healthy spray oil (I love my avocado oil spray)
- ¼ tsp paprika to taste
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2-1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or mexican blend)
TASTY TOPPINGS: CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES!
- fresh sor pickled jalapeño slices
- sour cream or Greek yogurt
- salsa or pico de gallo
- black beans
- diced onion or pickled red onion
- guacamole
- tomatoes
- chopped olives
- corn salsa
- fresh cilantro or green onions
- hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450℉.
- 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.
- Spray or rub with your favorite oil (olive, avocado, coconut, etc...) and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove tray from oven and cover with grated cheese. Return to oven for 1-2 minutes to melt cheese.
- Add all your favorite nacho toppings and dig in!
