Ingredients
  

2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and thinly sliced

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, diced (optional for heat)

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it hot and ready for the crispy potatoes.

    Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss your thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure each slice is evenly coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.

      Spread and Bake: Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through to achieve even browning and crispiness.

        Sauté Vegetables: While the potatoes are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and diced jalapeño (if you’re using it for extra spice). Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion softens. Next, add the halved grape tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they start to blister and release their juices.

          Combine Ingredients: Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, take them out of the oven and lower the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). In your skillet, layer the baked potato slices with the sautéed vegetable mixture and the rinsed black beans.

            Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the layered mixture, followed by an ample layer of Parmesan cheese to create a delicious cheesy topping.

              Final Bake: Place the skillet back in the oven and allow it to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

                Garnish and Serve: After baking, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Top with dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions for an added burst of color and flavor. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, crispy goodness!
