Tip

You can slice the potatoes into cold water and store them in the fridge already the day before. However, make sure to dry the potatoes well—e.g. by patting them with paper towels—before seasoning. This helps remove excess starch from the potatoes, making them crispier.

1
Preheat the oven to 225°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2
Wash and slice the potatoes into 0.5–1 cm thick rounds and place them on the tray. Season with oil, salt, black pepper, paprika powder, and dried thyme. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 20 minutes.
3
Peel and finely dice the red onion into very small cubes and place in a bowl. Rinse and quarter the cherry tomatoes and add to the bowl. Grate the zest of a washed lime into the mix and squeeze in the juice as well. Season with salt, sugar, and black pepper.
4
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
5
Heat a frying pan and add oil. Add the ground meat to the pan and fry, stirring, for about 3–4 minutes.
6
Add the garlic to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Continue frying for a few more minutes.
7
After the potatoes have roasted for about 20 minutes, add the ground meat on top of them. Sprinkle grated cheese over the meat. Continue roasting for another 8–10 minutes.
8
Finish the potato "nacho platter" with pico de gallo and sour cream. Serve immediately.
