Don't be caught off-guard for your next game day party. Bring along our oven baked loaded potato nachos piled high with melted cheese and a whole lot more!
Much like Fall, game day season is just around the corner. As the temperatures drop, men and women suit up to face the elements and compete in some sports.
For those of us who would rather watch than play along, we throw get together's or parties.
Nothing is more exciting than watching your favorite team while surrounded by great people and fantastic food. Something like these oven baked loaded potatoes nachos, crockpot BBQ meatballs, or tater tot nachos.
Sometimes it's hard to pick your favorite appetizer or snack. For me, it always comes down to fries or nachos.
We decided to combine both of the dishes in today's post. These oven baked loaded potato nachos have everything you love.
Bacon, cheese, green onion, and sour cream adorn a plate piled with crisp baked chips.
This offering can serve two to three people. However, if you're making them for a crowd, just multiply the measurements by the number of guests.
If you make a little extra, I promise, no one will complain.
In regards to making the loaded potato nachos, I have a few tips, including a couple of words of caution.
First, try to ensure you cut the taters the same width. The closer they are in width, the more evenly they will cook.
Second, I would avoid using an expensive olive oil for this one.
The only reason is that you're not going to taste it once everything is smothered in righteous toppings.
The last tip is to make sure all the chips are evenly coated with the oil and salt.
Otherwise, you might notice subtle differences in texture and taste (from the missing salt). As you can see, it's a pretty simple loaded potato dish to prepare.
I encourage you to make it for your next game day party or just as an afternoon snack to be shared with a loved one.
In closing, I wish everyone a long life, love everlasting, and a tummy full of fries and nachos!

WOW, this looks so delicious. Perfect snack for when my husband has his family and friends over for game day. My kids won't eat potatoes, I'm wondering if I create this recipe if they would try them. They can be so picky at times!

That is a great way to use potatoes and they look delicious. They would be a great addition to any BBQ, I think I will be making this for the side I have to take this weekend to the Labor Day BBQ at my friend's house. I would add guacamole too.
John says
Thank you, Monica! I hope you and your friends enjoy the dish. I like the idea of a fresh guacamole, it would add some crunch. Well, if you put fresh onions and tomatoes in the guacamole, that is, lol! Thanks again for commenting and have a lovely day 🙂
