Irish Nachos

Chef Jenn
I love how crispy, cheesy, and flavorful Irish Nachos are! Made with golden potato slices instead of tortilla chips, these loaded nachos are topped with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and fresh toppings for a fun and hearty appetizer. Perfect for game days, pub-style snacks, or St. Patrick’s Day celebrations!

Ingredients
  

For the potatoes

  • 1 pound small yellow potatoes sliced ¼-inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the toppings

  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ cup green onions sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped, optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425-F. Lightly oil a baking sheet then pop it into the oven to preheat for 5 minutes once the oven has reached temperature.
  • Mix the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle them with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Return to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Top with green onions, drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Slice the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate and crisp up nicely.
  • Use a hot oven and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet—this helps achieve the perfect crispy texture.
  • Let the cheese melt completely before removing from the oven for that gooey, cheesy goodness.
  • If you want an extra crunch, broil the potatoes for 1-2 minutes after adding the cheese.
  • Experiment with toppings! Try crispy fried onions, diced avocado, or even a drizzle of ranch dressing.
