Baked Nacho Fries

December 9, 2014 by naivecookcooks 23 Comments

These baked nacho fries won’t stop from pleasing everyone around!

Baked Nacho Fries.

I have solved your Christmas brunch problem.

These baked nacho fries are the BOMB! I mean it, seriously!

BUT, Before we start talking about how awesome, this brunch is going to be, I wanted to ask how far are you in your Christmas planning?!

This time we got a REAL tree which smells so amazing that all the time I feel I am living in a forest. It’s my first time getting a real tree and I am so hoping for it to last good 2-3 months! Don’t judge me but I can totally see myself having Christmas tree around until Jan-Feb. On another note, I am so waayyyy behind my gifts shopping and I am totally planning to get it done by this weekend!We did get a tree this year but there is not even a single ORNAMENT on our tree yet! We have still not found time to decorate our tree and so as you can imagine we are nowhere near the timely punctual #everythingontherighttime kind of people!

Sweet and Rustic Potatoes for Baked Nacho Fries.

I am going to be travelling for few days before we leave for our Christmas holidays so I am pulling double shift these days, kind of. Working on 2-3 recipes a day ,trying, retrying, shooting, planning way ahead for my posts to be timely and above all so I can relax and enjoy Christmas time with friends and not worry about work.Did I tell you that I am excited to be seeing our friends after a year almost and that’s keeping me going!

Ingredients for Baked Nacho Fries.

Baked potato & sweet potato fries with a cheesy #fromscratch cheese sauce, black beans, picked jalapenos, onions is what dreams are made of. Waking up to this yummy delicious brunch will seriously make you feel like Santa came early this year! You might say it’s more of an appetizer but I will say it seriously dreamily passes as a brunch even way better than as an appetizer. It is healthy, baked, got protein, little cheesy goodness (it’s holidays so it’s all legal!) and your favorite toppings.

Cheesy Godness of a Baked Nacho Fries Bite.

You can plan ahead and make sauce, beans and do chopping part a night before. You can even slice potatoes and soak in water overnight. This will make this brunch a cake walk. Just baking the fries, assembling and eating is what you can concentrate on the day you make these.

I am off to getting gazillion of other tasks done! Till then, eat these and be merry!

  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk, 2%

  4. Sprinkle more salt and red chili pepper on these baked fries.
  5. Meanwhile, to the already boiled beans, add salt, red chili and cumin and mix.Keep aside.

Add shredded cheese and take it off heat. Stir until all the cheese melts. If needed put it back on low flame and stir until you get a creamy cheese sauce. Taste and adjust salt.

    Real trees are magical! This is the first year that we don’t have a real one, because we will be traveling. I decided to put the artificial one that I usually put in my living room in my family room. Thankfully I found the most amazing product at my local nursery. They’re sticks that smell like real pine trees. I stuck a few in my artificial tree and the whole room smells like the real deal!

    Love, love, love the idea of using roasted potatoes instead of chips. This looks amazing. Thanks for the great idea!

    So funny– that was basically my dinner! I was craving Mexican, so I made nachos on some roasted sweet potato slices. It was incredible! I think better than nachos on chips for sure!

    Real trees are the best! I would have one up year round if I could. I love the smell! But we just decorated ours two days ago so don’t feel bad.

    This looks like the perfect easy brunch recipe! I’m a huge fan of nachos so Im confident I would devour these in one sitting!
