Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. Place the potato slices on the baking sheets in one layer, drizzle evenly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
  4. Roast until the potatoes are starting to brown and tender, about 20-25 minutes, switching the racks halfway through.
  5. Meanwhile, make the chili by heating the olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
  6. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper and salt and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Add the beef cook until the it’s fully browned, 6-8 minutes, crumbling it as you go.
  7. Stir in the cumin, chili powder and tomato paste. Cook until mixture is dark and begins to caramelize, about 2 minutes.
  8. Stir in the kidney beans and diced tomatoes and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer, and cook on low for 4-6 minutes.
  9. Push the potatoes on one sheet together, overlapping for a tight single layer. Top with half of the prepared chili and half of the shredded cheese.
  10. Layer the remaining potatoes, chili and cheese on top.
  11. Bake until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown, 8-10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately with favorite toppings.
