Ingredients
- 2 pieces Medium potatoes

- 0.75 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and slice them into very thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
Step 2
Pat the potato slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Place the potato slices in a microwave-safe dish or plate in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Microwave the potatoes on high for 4-6 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they become slightly crispy and cooked through. Depending on your microwave's power, cooking time may vary.
Step 5
Once the potatoes are cooked, spread them out on a microwave-safe plate or platter.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato slices.
Step 7
Add sliced jalapeños, if using, and any other desired toppings such as diced tomatoes.
Step 8
Return the plate to the microwave and heat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Step 9
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave (it will be hot).
Step 10
Top the warm potato nachos with a dollop of sour cream, chopped green onions, and guacamole or avocado slices, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your microwave potato nachos!
