Irish Nachos

These were made for last years Irish Sunday Dinner...and I forgot. This year I thought I was sooo clever to make these.

I made a few modifications to this recipe out of pure laziness.

These are fantastic with my modification and sadly, too easy. I highly recommend making these for any occasion.

My modification consisted of buying Waffle fries instead of slicing potatoes. The rest I did follow.


Irish Nachos
Recipe from KitchMe.com

12 lb potatoes,
2 tbsp olive oil,
12 tsp paprika,
1 tsp sea salt,
1 tsp ground black pepper,
5 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tbsp pickled jalapeno pepper, chopped
5 slice bacon, cooked and chopped
3 tbsp Greek yogurt or sour cream,
1 tbsp tomatoes, diced
12 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
2 tbsp green onion, chopped                             

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice potatoes into 1/4 inch thick rounds and place in a bowl. Add olive oil, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper and toss until the potatoes are well coated. Arrange slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, turn over, and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are browned and crisp. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Arrange potato slices in a cast iron skillet, slightly overlapping the edges. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese, jalapeno pepper, and bacon.

Return to the oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Remove the skillet from the oven and top with Greek yogurt or sour cream, tomatoes, cilantro, and green onion.
