These Little Potato nachos are a fun twist on traditional nachos—and perfect for busy weeknights, family movie nights, or casual get-togethers.

Instead of tortilla chips, roasted Little Potatoes form the base, topped with melty cheese, black beans, and fresh toppings. You can mix and match ingredients based on what your family loves or already has on hand.

Short on time? Use store-bought chipotle sauce or ranch dressing instead of making the crema from scratch. This recipe is endlessly customizable, totally kid-friendly, and guaranteed to disappear fast!
