Lauren's Loaded Potatoes

Guys, craving loaded potatoes?  This recipe is SO good and better than the O.G. because the potatoes are dip-able like nachos!  This recipe makes three-four servings, and is perfect for dinner, as an after-school snack, or an evening get together.  I like to add quinoa and make a bowl out of it.  

Ingredients

• 4 Yukon Gold potatoes

• 2 tbsp. ghee or olive oil

• Jakes Prime or sea salt + pepper to taste

• 1/2 cup cashew sour cream (recipe below)

• 1 cup black bean dip (recipe below)

• Mashed avocado + chopped tomato blend (cilantro is a great addition, too)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425

2. Slice potatoes into thin rounds (can go up to 1/4” thick if want thicker portions).

3. In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil.

4. On foiled baking sheets, place potato rounds in single layer. Sprinkle with jake's prime or salt.

5. Bake for 30-35 min. or until potatoes are golden and start to crisp at edges.

6. When cool, put potato rounds into 3-4 bowls with beans, cashew sour cream + tomato/avo blend. I also add quinoa to mine (yum).

7. If serving family-style, arrange potato rounds on a large platter with bowls of beans, avocado-tomato blend, cashew sour cream, and cilantro (if using).
