Tailgater Nachos

Source of Recipe

From "Our Sweet Basil Kitchen" by Cade and Carrian Cheney


Recipe Introduction

"These are not your typical nachos, but they are a perfect way to use leftovers from the Carolina Pulled Pork recipe. It's a mashup of Southern pork, potatoes from the Northwest, and a whole lot of cheese and bacon."

List of Ingredients

â—¦  1 (1.5- to 2-pound) pork butt or shoulder roast
â—¦  1 tablespoon salt plus more for seasoning potatoes
â—¦  4 russet potatoes, cut in half and sliced thin
â—¦  Olive oil
â—¦  Shredded Colby Jack cheese
â—¦  1 pound bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
â—¦  Sour cream
â—¦  Barbecue sauce
â—¦  Chopped cilantro


Recipe

Sprinkle pork roast liberally with up to 1 tablespoon salt, place in slow cooker and cook on low 8 hours, until tender and falling apart.

Thirty minutes before serving, heat oven to 450 degrees F.

Drizzle a little olive oil on a cookie sheet and toss the sliced potatoes in the oil. Sprinkle a little salt on top and bake 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender. While potatoes bake, shred the pork.

Layer the potatoes, pork, cheese, and bacon in a cast-iron skillet or on a cookie sheet, finishing with cheese on top, and broil on high until melted and gooey. Sprinkle additional bacon on top, along with sour cream, barbecue sauce, and cilantro as desired.
