  • 1/2-1 cup grated cheese ((cheddar, pepper jack, or mexican blend))
  • fresh sliced or diced jalapeños
  • sliced pickled Jalapeño peppers
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • salsa

Instruction

  • Wash and peel your potatoes and cut into discs. I like mine the same thickness and texture as steak fries. Crunchy, crust-like outside and a fluffy mashed potato-like center. It makes me weak in the knees.
  • Spray or rub with your favorite oil (olive, avocado, coconut, etc...) and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Set your oven to BROIL on high.
  • Lay potato slices flat on a wire cooling rack or grilling rack and set atop a reflective baking sheet. This will allow both sides to cook evenly and prevent mushiness. I use this same tecnique for my mozz balls and squash fries too -- it's foolproof!
  • Broil on high for 10-20 minutes. They're done once they start to bubble and turn golden brown on the surface.
  • Pull from the oven, lay flat on foil or a baking sheet and pile on the cheese!
  • Flip your oven to 350°F and bake until the cheese is seductively melty. Then pile on the rest of your toppings and dig in!
