02 -
  • Use a mandoline slicer for perfectly uniform potato rounds that cook evenly
  • Pat potato slices dry before tossing with oil to ensure maximum crispiness
  • Make the Greek yogurt ranch up to 2 days ahead and store refrigerated for even better flavor
  • Warm your serving platter in a low oven so the nachos stay hot longer
  • Don't skip flipping the potatoes halfway through roasting—it's essential for even browning
  • Layer the cheese first, then vegetables, so the cheese acts as glue to hold everything together
  • Check ranch spice ingredients for gluten if serving gluten-free guests
