LOADED BAKED POTATO POTATO CHIP NACHOS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. 2. Place the peeled and cubed potato in a small sauce pan, and just cover it with cold water and a pinch of salt. Place the lid on the pot, crank the heat up to high, and cook the potatoes until they are fork tender. 3. To make the mashed potato topping, drain the potatoes and put them back in their hot pot (but not on a lit burner), just so a bit of the excess moisture will evaporate. Then pass the potatoes through a ricer, and add the butter and milk to the potatoes and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper. If you do not have a ricer, don't despair. Just add the butter and milk to the chunks of potatoes and mash with a potato masher. 4. For the bacon bits, slice each thick-cut strip of bacon in half lengthwise, and then cut the thin strips about every quarter inch to create little squares. Put the bacon pieces into a small sauté pan over medium to medium-high heat, and cook until crisp, but not crisp all the way through, because they will continue to crisp slightly when you melt the cheese in the oven, and you don't want them to burn. Drain on a paper towel. 5. Fill an oven-safe wide plate with the chips. You don't need to use all of each topping; really, when building nachos, it depends on which chips and which dish you end up choosing. So just dollop away to your preference. Begin first with the mashed potatoes, then the extra sharp cheddar cheese, then the bacon bits, and lastly the scallions. Place the plate on a baking sheet, and bake for 10 minutes in the 400°F oven. 6. Lastly, dollop some sour cream over the top of the nachos, and serve straight from the oven, hot and gooey and really, really good.

SHEET PAN NACHOS, STICKY SESAME GINGER WINGS, AND SMASHED LOADED POTATOES FROM REYNOLDS WRAP®

Steps:

• Whisk sriracha, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, and ginger in a medium bowl until sugar is dissolved. Pour about a third of sauce into a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and add wings. Seal bag, pressing out air, then toss to coat wings. Chill at least 4 hours and up to 24. Cover remaining sauce and chill.
• Boil potatoes in a pot of salted water, starting from cold, until fork tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and let cool, then smash with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to flatten gently. Chill until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Build separate foil trays by folding a large piece of foil in half, and folding up the edges to create three trays; one taking up about 1/2 of the sheet to hold the nachos, and 2 smaller trays to hold the wings and smashed potatoes.
• Remove wings from bag, allowing excess marinade to drip off, and arrange in one of the small foil trays, spacing evenly. Toss smashed potatoes with olive oil in the other small foil tray and season with salt and pepper. Spread out potatoes; place in oven along with wings. Bake until wings are cooked through and tender at the bone, and potatoes are browned on the bottom, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While wings and potatoes are roasting, cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium, turning occasionally, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels and coarsely chop; set aside.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and increase temperature to 450 degrees F. Turn potatoes so they're browned-side up and use a brush to baste wings with half of remaining ginger sauce.
• Arrange 1/2 the tortilla chips on open half of baking sheet. Toss cheeses together and sprinkle half over top of chips. Scatter remaining chips and cheese in a second layer over top. Tent chips with more foil, then place baking sheet back in oven. Bake until cheese is melted and wings are browned and crispy in spots, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle wings with remaining ginger sauce, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion. Scatter red onion, tomatoes, jalapenos, and cilantro over nachos. Place a dollop of sour cream over each smashed potato, then top with bacon and chives. Season with more salt and pepper and serve.
