Method

Potato Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the Russet potatoes. Cut them into wedges or rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well coated.

  4. 4

    Roast the Potatoes

    Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on paper towels to drain.

  2. 6

    Caramelize the Onions

    In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and caramelized.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Gradually add the cheddar cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.

  4. 8

    Chop the Green Onions

    While the cheese sauce is heating, finely chop the green onions.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Layer the Nachos

    Once the potatoes are roasted, layer them on a large serving platter. Crumble the cooked bacon over the potatoes, followed by the caramelized onions.

  2. 10

    Add Cheese Sauce

    Drizzle the warm cheese sauce over the entire platter.

  3. 11

    Serve with Sour Cream

    Add dollops of sour cream on top and sprinkle with chopped green onions for garnish.
