Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes, diced
- 1 cup soyrizo
- 1 cup vegan cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 cup chipotle sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Wash and dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1/2-inch in size to ensure even cooking.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Spread the diced potatoes evenly across the pan to create a single layer.
- Cook potatoes for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add soyrizo to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles and mixing it with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the soyrizo is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Sprinkle the shredded vegan cheese evenly over the potato and soyrizo mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish immediately with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
- Drizzle chipotle cilantro sauce generously over the skillet, ensuring even coverage of the nachos.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, allowing guests to scoop portions with a spatula. Best enjoyed immediately while cheese is melted and potatoes are crisp.
Tips
- Uniform Potato Cuts: For even cooking, make sure to dice your potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes. This will help them crisp up nicely and cook evenly.
- Skillet Choice: A cast-iron skillet is ideal for achieving that perfect crispy texture, but a non-stick pan works well too. Just be sure to keep an eye on the heat to prevent sticking.
- Crispy Potatoes: Don’t rush the cooking process! Allow the potatoes to cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring to achieve that golden-brown crispiness.
- Soyrizo Flavor Boost: For an extra kick, consider adding some spices like smoked paprika or chili powder to the soyrizo while it cooks. This will enhance the overall flavor profile.
- Cheese Melting: Covering the skillet while the cheese melts helps to trap the heat, ensuring that the cheese becomes perfectly gooey and melty.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the fresh cilantro and green onions! They add a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors and brighten up the dish.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve the nachos hot and straight from the skillet for a fun, communal dining experience. Provide spatulas or large spoons for easy serving!
