Recipe type: Appetizer
Cuisine: Irish
Serves: 2-4 Servings
Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds Russet Potatoes (cleaned, and sliced ¼ inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried Rosemary leaves (crushed)
  • ½ teaspoon dried Thyme leaves (crushed)
  • Sea Salt & fresh ground Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
  • 4 - 5 slices of thick-sliced Bacon (cooked and chopped)
  • Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • Salsa, Pico de gallo, or Diced Tomatoes (optional)
  • 2 minced Green Onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Cilantro leaves
Preparation Instructions
  1. Start off by preheating your oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Slice the potatoes in about ¼-inch slices and toss with the olive oil, rosemary and thyme leaves, and sea salt and pepper to taste. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper and put the potatoes in a single layer. (Use 2 baking sheets if you need to for room.)
  3. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes then flip the potatoes and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes start to brown without getting crispy.
  4. Layer the sliced potatoes in a cast iron skillet (or oven-safe pan) and top with the sharp cheddar cheese and chopped bacon. Put the skillet in the oven and bake another 3-4 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  5. Top the Irish Nachos with the green onions and cilantro. Top with Greek yogurt and salsa (or tomatoes in whatever form you’d like). And enjoy right away!
