Yes.
Pachos. Meaning…potato nachos.
They’re a real thing…
They’re inspired by these Sloppy Joes. And if you haven’t tried those, you need to. They’re life changing.
I thinly sliced regular potatoes, fried them and topped them with all the sloppy joe goodies, popped them in the oven and – viola!
This is one of those things that you don’t even need a plate for. You basically pull them out of the oven and everybody just stands around the pan devouring them.
Who needs plates? They won’t last long, anyway.
If you think about it, it’s not that much different than using potato chips as a vehicle to devour dip. I mean, it’s literally the same thing. Texture is a little different, but that’s about it.
Probably one of the best thing about these is how customizable they are.
Put your own spin on them if sloppy joe isn’t your thing.
