   Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Slice the potatoes thinly; toss them on a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder. Arrange them in a single layer and bake until golden brown, stirring halfway through, about 30 minutes.

Add the ground beef and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the whites of the green onions and garlic and cook until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 1/2 cups water; reduce the heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
3. Divide the potatoes among plates. Top with the meat sauce, cheddar, mozzarella, green onions, tomatoes, and pickled jalapeños.
