Breakfast Potato Nachos – Thinly sliced roasted potatoes are topped with scrambled eggs, diced red pepper, chopped steak, and melted cheeses for the perfect breakfast meal anytime of day!

Breakfast Potato Nachos are a twist on my favorite Irish Potato Nachos. I thought about adding sausage and eggs to make them breakfasty, but that didn’t feel right. I went back to the drawing board, aka trusty notepad, and realized that steak and eggs would be the perfect addition to the seasoned potatoes!!

I love salsa verde, so I decided to go for a Tex-Mex flavor combination and use my favorite Mexican seasoning blend. You can use whatever seasoning and toppings that you like!

What you need to make breakfast nachos:

2 to 3 russet potatoes sliced one quarter inch thick – try to find smaller potatoes versus huge baking potatoes, they are easier to eat.
olive oil
N.Y. Strip steak – thick-cut, about 8 to 10 ounces.
two large eggs
Mexican seasoning to flavor the potatoes and the steak.
diced red bell pepper
shredded cheddar and Jack cheeses – substitute Pepper Jack for spicier nachos.
green onions and chopped cilantro to garnish.
salsa verde and sour cream for serving.

How to make Breakfast Nachos with Potatoes:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Place the potato slices in a bowl and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Mexican seasoning, gently toss to coat as evenly as possible.

Place the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet with edges touching, but not overlapped. You may need two baking sheets depending on how large your potato rounds are.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes over and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crispy.

While the potatoes are roasting, season the steak with the remaining tablespoon of seasoning.

Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the steak and cook for 2 minutes, then flip over and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Use an instant read thermometer to determine doneness.

When potatoes are done, place on a wire cooling rack to protect your counters. Sprinkle the diced red pepper and scrambled eggs over the potato slices.

Recipe Notes & Tips:

All ovens cook differently, baking times are approximate. As you can see above, my oven cooks hot on one side.
If you don’t like salsa verde, serve with restaurant-style blender salsa.
Feel free to add diced tomatoes and/or sliced jalapenos before serving.

Have leftovers?

Place leftovers in an air-tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350 degree oven until the cheese melts, 15 to 20 minutes, in the microwave for 2 or 3 minutes, or in an air fryer for 5 minutes.
Serve with fresh salsa and sour cream.
