Microwaved Or Baked Potato Nachos

If you love potatoes and nachos then you need to try this recipe. Along with the potatoes are all your favorite nacho toppings like onion, bacon, jalapeño peppers, cheese, seasonings and topped with sour cream, optional. I made this in the microwave and it was cooked in 15 minutes or you can bake it in the oven in about 50-60 minutes.

Spray a 2 quart baking dish with cooking oil.

Peel and slice the potatoes then place them
into a large bowl. Add the oil and toss
well coating all of the potatoes.

Add the onion, cumin, chili powder, salt, jalapeño
slices and bacon then toss to combine thoroughly.

Pour the potatoes into the prepared dish,
cover and microwave for 15 minutes or until
the potatoes are tender. If baking, cover and
bake in a preheated 350º oven for 50-60
minutes or until potatoes are cooked through.

Remove from the microwave or oven and
add the shredded cheese. Place the lid
on until the cheese melts. Remove
the lid and top with green onion
and sour cream, optional.

I love nachos. This looks really good.
Thank you it tasted really good.
There is a Super Bowl Party just begging for this!
Oh most definitely, may want to double it! Thank you 💕
There is a Super Bowl Party just begging for this!
What a great idea! Thank you ❤️
This looks great. I don’t often make microwave dishes but this one looks like a winner.
It turned out really good. We ended up making it a meal.
This looks so good! If time were not an issue, I always prefer to oven bake things than use the microwave. But it’s nice that you’ve provided two options for users to try!
Yes I will bake or use the microwave. With my hubbies work schedule I have to have dinner ready by 3:30 so I opt for simple and quick meal for him. This turned out to be a meal! Thanks Ab!
3:30 dinner. Yikes! What an awful schedule. You are a good support to him!
It is and I don’t know how he can eat that early. He eats again when he gets home but he’s on his own then! Lol
Haven’t thought of doing this in the microwave! They look great.
Oh yes try it, so much quicker and still tastes great.
Looks addicting. Potato nachos are such a good idea!
Thank you Colleen!

Thank you! ❤️

Looks like much better than the potatoe dishes i had eaten in the past. Beeing honest this was at boarding school, and cooked by nuns. 😉 xx Michael
Now that surprises me! My husbands Aunt was a nun at a convent and she made delicious homemade bread for decades and she was nearly blind. They even sold the bread she made. Thank you for the nice comment Michael!
I am not wondering about, Diane! The nuns here are all grown up in the monasteries, and had learned cooking and baking by their former nuns. The manager of the boarding school – also a cleric – wanted to save money too. 😉 xx
Another yummy, yummy from you, Diane! 🙂
You are so kind Mitzy, thank you!
My family would love this and since I stay away from gluten I could eat this too! Great idea!!
I don’t know much about gluten so I’m glad this works for the entire family. I know we sure loved it.
Just showed this to Hubby. He said, “Yeah, I could get behind that.”
If you put enough stuff in it, it is a meal! I had a big bowl and was stuffed.
Yum!
Thank you! Have a great weekend!
That first picture – wow. They look so good. They remind me of a less-spicy version my mom called “company potatoes” which were sliced potatoes with onions and breadcrumbs on top which were baked. I wish she had tossed some of this spice in there!
Thanks! Aren’t company potatoes the same as funeral potatoes?
I had to Google funeral potatoes. No, those funeral potatoes were cheesy (yum) and these were just potatoes sliced fairly thin, salt and pepper and lots of onions, breadcrumbs on top and baked. They got crispy on top. I got to eat the top part as I was “the baby” (even when I got older) as this was the best part. Nothing else in them. My mom usually made them when she baked something like pork chops or chicken cordon bleu.
They sound delicious!
I Googled for the recipe – nothing. All the potato dishes have cheeses or mushroom sauce. This was plain.
Your mom’s original recipe!!!
It must have been Diane! I wonder if it is in her red binder of recipes … likely was just in her head.
Oh how I would love to go through that red binder!
You’d probably get more use out of it than I ever will!
Not true, once you retire you will use it a lot!
That’s right – I keep forgetting I’ll have more time and can experiment!
wow this is a new spin Diana, I’ll try it, thanks!👏👏👏
It was really delicious with all our favorite toppings. Enjoy!
It sure looks like it… Thanks 🙏
