Totchos are the perfect midwestern version of their more well-known cousin, nachos. Both involve some type of carb topped with meat, cheese, toppings and a sauce. What could be bad? Totchos replace the tortilla chips used in nachos with potato crowns, or “tots”. Totchos have been gaining in popularity as a great game day food as they are so simple to make and are served right on the sheet pan. With potatoes, peppers, eggs & bacon topped with cheese and sausage gravy, these breakfast totchos need no kick off time to become a family breakfast favorite. The ease of this recipe involves a sheet pan to cook the potato crowns on, and one skillet to make the rest of the toppings. Your dishwasher will thank me!
