Savvy with Abbie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter yesterday. Things were definitely different being mid Coronavirus. Kevin and I did a mini Easter egg hunt for Jace yesterday. We got him a basket of course and then a few things just from us. I dressed up and watched a few Easter services on TV and we were going to make this extravagant meal of tri-tip, asparagus, sausage, and rice, but our tri-tip was still frozen so we stuck with pizza :) We are cooking the tri-tip tonight. Over the weekend I made these nachos but I didn't have time to write a blog post about them - things have been so busy working and homeschooling Jace and it doesn't seem to slow down.

I had some extra potatoes and saw this recipe the other day for Irish Nachos. They are pretty much Nachos with potatoes instead of chips and they are so good. I had three servings and Jace who is 8 even had some :) The link takes you to a video HERE but I have the recipe written out below. I also cooked the potatoes like the recipe said to -40 minutes- and the potatoes got burnt so I did them a second time for 35 minutes and they were perfectly crispy. I'm sure oven temperatures vary so I would say to check after 30-35 minutes and keep them in there up to 40. Ingredients: 5 potatoes, sliced into circles 3 pieces of thick bacon Olive Oil basil oregano 1-2 cups of colby jack cheese Additional options: Sour cream, chives, tomatoes Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Slice potatoes into circles. Place in a bowl of water and let soak. Place bacon in a pan and cook. Once done cooking, cut into pieces. Move potatoes from the bowl of water to a sheet pan.
