The other day I saw a bag of Yukon gold potatoes sitting on the counter at my parents house. Since potatoes weren't on that night's dinner menu, I knew I could use them to make a delicious and easy appetizer. Inspired by a
crisp potato recipe from the latest Everyday Food magazine, I decided to make these nachos with blue cheese, green onions, and grape tomatoes.

What do you get when you cross potato skins with nachos? Potachos! The best of both worlds, this tasty invention uses the base of nachos (crunchy potato chips) with the topping of potato skins (cheddar cheese, bacon bits, sour cream, and green onions).The recipe is simple and like all nacho recipes, easily adaptable to your personal liking.

During my
end of summer barbeque, I want guests to relax, mingle, and enjoy the last long days of the season with some delicious dishes. I'll serve store-bought dips and chips for appetizers, along with one homemade treat: nacho potato skins. Next, I'll set up a burger bar and give each guest a grilled burger and a variety of options for toppings ranging from the classic lettuce and tomato to the gourmet caramelized onions and sauteed mushrooms.
