Can Blue Cheese/Bacon/Potato Crisps Be Made on a Stone as Nachos?

[cochef]

I seem to remember readiing that these can be made on a stone as nachos - is this the recipe I am thinking of? It is so hard to get the potatoes to fit in the MMP. I usually end up slitting the sides of the potato and overlapping it a bit. Any other tips, if this is not the nacho recipe idea?

I can't get my potato slices in the muffin pan at all. All I can figure is they are using some tiny tiny new potatoes! The stone works, but I've never gotten them as crispy as they look in the pictures. They are still good!

Yes, little potatoes are the key. I have sliced them in half before. I love, love, love this recipe, and I don't even like blue cheese! LOL

There are red potatoes and then there are really tiny ones. I have found them in a small bag about the size of a cantaloupe.

My potatoes shrink as they bake in the oven. They don't quite fit into the wells when I put them in, but they do when I pull the pan out.

When I made these, the smaller slices from the potatoes fit OK in the MMP, but the slightly large slices, I just put a cut halfway into the slice and was able to make a "cone" shape and they fit in. The larger slices, I cut in half.

I used regular potatoes, but made sure I had them on the smaller side. I did not spend the money on the specialty small potatoes.

It looked messy before I put it in the oven, but once they were baked, they turned out great. I think they shrink and mold to the MMP when they bake.

Oh, and this recipe sounded disgusting to me (I hate soggy fries, so thought this would be along the same lines) - but I ended up really liking these. I was surprised!

I did half with bleu cheese and half with cheddar.

Thanks for the suggestions - but do you think they could be done as "stacks" or spread out as nachos on a stone. They really didn't stick together or get real crispy in the MMP.

I was struggling with this recipe too. My potatoes wouldn't sit in the MMP the right way. Finally, on my third attempt, I used the bisquit cutters to force the slices to the correct size and bingo - they were wonderful and I hate blue cheese!
