Description

A fun twist on classic nachos featuring crispy smashed potatoes topped with melted cheese, fresh veggies, and a spicy chili crisp crema.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1.5 lbs small Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp chili crisp
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. Place potatoes on a baking sheet. Use a flat-bottomed cup or masher to gently smash each potato until flattened but still intact.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  4. While potatoes bake, mix sour cream, chili crisp, lime juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl to make the crema. Set aside.
  5. Remove potatoes from oven. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, then top with black beans. Return to oven for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
  6. Top with red onion, jalapeños, and cilantro. Drizzle with chili crisp crema and serve immediately.
