Nacho Average Nachos

Recipe by Simon Howie

Roasties instead of tortilla chips. Did someone say haggis and roasties!? Yes. Yes we did. And dips. Never forget the dips. Colourful potatoes give a wow factor.

Prep Time 10 mins
Cooking Time 30 mins

Serves 4

The best type of potato for this recipe is a Fluffy

Recipe contains: Dairy

Ingredients

Simon Howie Original Haggis (Veggie haggis would work great too)

Nutritional information not available. Find out more.

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees
2. Peel and chop your potatoes. We used a colourful selection which looked so good together and added another dimension to the dish.
3. Oil and season the potatoes and lay out on a baking tray and put in the hot oven.
4. Bake potatoes until golden (approx. 20 – 25 mins) giving them a shoogle at least once halfway.
5. Remove the haggis from all packaging and cook as desired. I microwaved mine by chopping it up and putting it in a microwavable dish. Cover with clingfilm (pierce film several times) and microwave on high for 2 mins. Carefully peel back clingfilm and mash haggis with a fork. Recover and cook for another minute or so.
6. Preheat grill. Once the potatoes are cooked. Transfer them to a serving dish and top with cheese. Put this dish under a hot grill until the cheese has melted.
7. Top cheesy roasties with haggis, dips and jalapenos and serve immediately.

When Clair Howison from Simon Howie sent me this recipe, I knew it sounded good. But that Saturday was one of these days with Andrew with 2 kids in one place and one sport, and me in Edinburgh with another kid and another sport. Ships passing in the night. Oh and grandma in tow! I had assumed we’d all eat at different times, or a have carry out…….and of course not knowing when the others had eaten or how hungry everyone was, meant I wasn’t going to decide till we got home (I was on carry out mode!)

My half of the family came home at about 5pm to find haggis defrosting (both Vegetarian and normal), potatoes prepared and a note to say they’d be home with the salsa, guacamole and sour cream, and to get everything else ready for 7:30.

Teamwork indeed!

I honestly have never thought of having haggis with Mexican style dips and it was so quick and easy. It was absolutely delicious! I sprinkled some Mexican fajita mix over the wedges as they were cooking (I can never follow a recipe exactly!)

It is a complete thumbs up from here and goes to the top of the list for a quick family meal for busy households.
