Who loves their nachos to be extra extra extra loaded? These sweet potato nachos have special meaning to me, as they were lugged back, along with another 10 pounds of groceries, with great care. Motherhood means sore backs and arms and carrying groceries back home. When you’re at the checkout, trying to fit everything in your bag and realizing you bought way too much, it’s always that moment. It never seems like that much in your basket.
They’re time-consuming to make if you don’t have a kitchen tool that will thinly slice the potatoes (i.e. mandolin slicer), but if you do, you’re good to go! I saw this recipe on a blog and couldn’t wait to try it and share it with my kids and friends.
These sweet potato nachos taste just like the real thing, only much, much better! Trust me, try it out!
