Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Guacamole
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup Sliced jalapeños
• 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the slices and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and arrange them on a serving platter or baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato slices. If desired, return them to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.

Step 9

Top the nacho potatoes with the cooked taco meat, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Nacho Potatoes as a hearty appetizer or main dish!
