How to Make Irish Pub Potato Nachos

Irish pub nachos are loaded up just like regular nachos but instead of tortilla chips, they use crispy fried potato slices! If you have never had these, you are truly missing out!

Now, these are not technically “Irish”, so please do not come at me about it, however, a lot of pubs sell them and they are truly delicious!

Okay — so to make these, you are going to use a mandolin slicer and slice your potatoes about 1/4″ thick.

You can use a knife if you are good at slicing them thin, but if you need help with that, a mandolin slicer is perfect for that.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray it with non-stick spray.

Add your potatoes to a bowl, and then sprinkle on your spices and top with olive oil.

Place your potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.

Bake for 20 minutes, and then flip all the potatoes over and bake for another 20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and get ready to start assembling your nachos.

In a cast-iron skillet, layer your nachos like lasagna. Start with potatoes, then top with cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions.

Continuing layering until you run out of potatoes.

Turn the broiler on in your oven and place the skillet under the broiler until the cheese is completely melted.

Remove and enjoy just like you would regular nachos. They will be a hit with everyone!

If you want to add more toppings, go for it! Try adding some sliced jalapenos, diced tomatoes, and cilantro.

You can use any potato you want, however, Russet is best. I used Golden Yukon and they worked great but Russet always holds up best.
