Irish Nachos are crispy roasted potato slices layered with melted cheddar, bacon, and fresh toppings for a hearty twist on classic nachos. Perfect for sharing, this crowd-pleasing dish is loaded with bold flavor and comforting texture.

Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 cup jalapeño slices
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the baking sheet. Toss or brush with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  4. Remove from the oven and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot potatoes.
  5. Return to the oven for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Top with crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, and jalapeños.
  7. Add dollops of sour cream and garnish with chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted for a creamier texture.
  • For extra crispiness, soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before roasting.
  • Substitute bacon with chopped corned beef for a traditional Irish twist.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a 375°F oven until crisp.
  • Freezing is not recommended as potatoes may become mushy after thawing.
