Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp coarse salt
  • pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
  • 7 slices cooked bacon
  • 5 green onions
  • sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Wash and cut the potatoes into medium slices and place them in a bowl. Do not peel the potatoes.
  • Add the olive oil to the potatoes and stir to coat (I use my hands).
  • Sprinkle with the coarse salt and mix to combine. Grind a bit of black pepper into the mixture.
  • Place the potatoes on the prepared pans. The slices should not overlap.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then flip over the potatoes and bake an additional 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the bacon while the potatoes are cooking. I cheat and use precooked bacon, so I just heat it in the microwave according to the package directions.
  • Chop the bacon into medium pieces.
  • Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Arrange the cooked potatoes in the dish. These can overlap. I didn't have any particularly nice dishes, so I used a medium sized, rectangular glass pan.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar over the potatoes and return to the oven until the cheese melts, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the surface with the cooked bacon pieces.
  • Chop the green onion and sprinkle over your nachos.
  • Finish with a dollop of sour cream.
