The Ultimate Nachos!
When I say these nachos are about to change your life, I truly mean it. I mean yeah, on paper gnocchi nachos might sound slightly, erm, bizarre? But it 100% works. Is there any need for gnocchi nachos? Absolutely not. Are we gonna stuff our faces with zero regrets anyway? Hell yes we are! The reason these gnocchi nachos work so well is because the gnocchi is toasted. You get that nice crispy layer between the meaty cheesy goodness, with the added pillow texture of the gnocchi for extra measure. Sweet Jesus I’m drooling all over again. Just like my Crispy Gnocchi and Sausage Meatballs, you’ll need to remove the starch from the outside of the gnocchi before you fry it. You can either do this by boiling for 1 minute, or pop in hot/warm water for 15mins. Both of these methods will also slightly cook the gnocchi, which is what we want. Just until al dente.
How to make Gnocchi Nachos (quick summary)
- Heat a drizzle of oil, then add beef and fry until browned. 6. Add spices, stir in tomato puree, then add a splash of water. 7. Layer up gnocchi, then beef, then cheese and repeat. Bake in the oven. 8. Serve with classic nacho toppings!
What to serve with Gnocchi Nachos?
I top with finely diced red onion and jalapeno, alongside guac, salsa and sour cream. I also give the option of fresh limes if anybody wants them!
Can I use this recipe with Tortilla Chips?
You sure can! I mean, they won’t be as good as with golden crispy gnocchi, but each to their own 😉
Can I make these in advance?
One of the keys to these being so delicious is the golden crispy gnocchi. Unfortunately if you make it ahead they’ll go soft and chewy. This only takes just over 30mins to make, so I definitely recommend making fresh.
Can these be reheated?
Again, just like regular nachos, not a great idea. Hope you’re hungry 🙂
And there we have it! Crazy nachos are yours for the taking! Hey, whilst you’re here why not check out my other recipes?
