Time 45m

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

3 lb. Yukon gold potatoes
4 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
Nonstick cooking spray
2 tsp. salt
2 c. shredded cheddar-jack cheese
8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
Quick pickled onions (optional), sliced green onions, sour cream, and salsa, for serving
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 c. white vinegar
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°. Wash the potatoes and pat dry thoroughly. Slice the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. In a large bowl, stir together the potatoes, olive oil, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Spray two rimmed baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Divide the potatoes equally between pans and arrange them in an even layer. Bake for 20 minutes then remove the pans from the oven. Flip the potatoes, rotate the pans, and return to oven. Bake until the potatoes are golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
Remove the potatoes from oven and sprinkle evenly with the salt. Let cool 5 minutes. Combine the potatoes on one pan and sprinkle with the bacon and shredded cheese. Return the pan to oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with the quick-pickled onions and green onions; top with salsa and sour cream.
To make the quick-pickled onions (optional): Combine the onion, vinegar, 1/2 cup water, sugar, and salt in a small microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe potatoes, flavorful cheese, and your favorite nacho toppings will make all the difference in the taste of your dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the potatoes, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
Be patient: Cooking the potatoes takes time, so don't rush the process. If you try to cook them too quickly, they will be undercooked and soggy.
Load them up: Once the potatoes are cooked, go crazy with your favorite nacho toppings. Cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and jalapeños are all classic options, but feel free to get creative and try something new.
Serve them hot: Irish potato nachos are best served hot and fresh out of the oven. So, make sure to have all of your toppings ready to go before you start cooking the potatoes.

Conclusion:

Irish potato nachos are a fun and easy way to enjoy your favorite nacho toppings. They're perfect for a party or a casual get-together. And, best of all, they're made with simple, everyday ingredients that you probably already have on hand. So, next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack or meal, give Irish potato nachos a try. You won't be disappointed!
