5 Super Bowl Nachos Recipes
1. Loaded Potato Skin Nachos Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sliced bacon
- 2 large russet potatoes (about ½ pound)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Tortilla chips
- 3 cups ridged potato chips

Take a large saucepan and cook the bacon over medium heat for 10 minutes or until crisp. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove the burned bits from the bacon fat and reserve the fat in the pan.
Thinly peel the potatoes into long strips. Wash the potato skins and fry them in the fat over a high flame for four to five minutes. They should look golden brown before you turn off the heat. Season the fried potato skins with a pinch of salt.
Next, cut the peeled potatoes into ½-inch cubes and cook them in the fat for 8 to 12 minutes. Add salt and pepper. Keep stirring occasionally, until crispy golden brown.
Now, nachos bowl. In a large bowl, add tortilla chips, top it with 1/3 of the potato chips and potato cubes. Crush the bacon on it and grate some Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top of it.
Now, add ¾ cup of sour cream, some scallions, and a pinch paprika. Create two or more layers with the ingredients in similar fashion.
Bake and garnish with more sour cream, fried potato skin strips, chives, avocado, and pepper.
