My second year of university was the year of nachos and ramen. Lunch of champions and scholars, I tell you. I had always been a sandwich and pasta salad kind of gal, but one of my friends lived within a short drive of our classes. What was stocked in his cupboards and fridge? Ramen, tortilla chips and cheese. How I avoided gaining 60 pounds that year is a testament to a youthful metabolism. If I dared to eat those types of lunches that frequently today, things would get ugly very quickly.

Clearly following in his mum’s footsteps, my youngest son occasionally requests nachos. “As long as there’s a side order of carrots or apple slices,” is my typical response. Tortilla chips, tons of melted cheese – yep, fruit and veggies are definitely in order. If only I had that wisdom in my college years. And with football and hockey season just around the corner, the craving for nachos is bound to ramp up for the whole family. That seemed like a great reason to come up with a healthier version of nachos, one that we could share for lunch or serve up at a tailgating party. Hold the ramen, please.

I set aside the tortilla chips and turned to my favorite Creamer potatoes from The Little Potato Company for these Mediterranean potato nachos. And with The Little Potato Company’s dedication to developing recipes for Little Chefs, I wanted the recipe to be approachable for my two boys. They have become quite the experts with the chef’s knives, so I set them to work with cutting the potatoes and chopping the toppings.

Using my favorite Mediterranean 7-Layer Dip recipe as inspiration for these potato nachos, we chopped up roasted red peppers (see How to Roast a Bell Pepper), tomatoes, cucumber, parsley and Kalamata olives. Simply roast the potatoes in a cast iron skillet (you could also use a baking sheet), then melt the feta over top. Once the potatoes are tender and golden brown and the feta is melted, spread all of the toppings evenly over the top, including healthy dollops of hummus and Greek yogurt.

For serving, bring the whole skillet to the table and give everyone a fork. Dig in!
