Ingredients
- Large Russet potatoes – sliced into wedges
- Vegetable oil
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Mexican seasoning – we like Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning
- Canned black beans – drained and rinsed.
- Diced tomatoes – either canned or fresh.
- Canned diced green chiles
- Diced jalapeno peppers

How to Make Potato Nachos
Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the oil and seasoning and toss to coat the potatoes evenly. Place them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the wedges for 20 to 30 minutes or until they are brown and crispy. Take the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the cheese over the top. Bake them again until the cheese is melted.
Once the cheese is melted, you can add the rest of the toppings and serve the nachos from the sheet pan. Or, transfer them to a serving dish, if you prefer.
Top them with black beans, tomatoes, green chile, jalapenos, green onions, and sour cream. I like to serve the mashed avocado on the side, or you can scoop it onto the nachos for serving.
More Topping Ideas
Like regular nachos, you can add other toppings to put your spin on this baked potato nachos recipe. Here are some options to try:
- Crumbled cooked slices of bacon or turkey bacon.
- To make them even more filling, add some cooked shredded chicken breasts.
- Add different kinds of cheese like pepper jack, Colby, mozzarella cheese, or white cheddar cheese.
- Sliced black olives.
- Diced bell peppers.
- Switch the green onion for some diced red onion.
- Sprinkle chopped scallions or fresh cilantro over the top.
- Squeeze some lime juice over the top.
- Serve them with some salsa, queso, and guacamole on the side.
