When we go to our local Irish Pub, we always get their delicious potato nachos! They are like regular nachos but instead of tortilla chips, they use crispy fried potato slices! SOOO good!
In this recipe you can either bake or fry the potatoes to make them nice and crispy!
Disclaimer: I do realize that these are not “Irish”. However, many North American “Irish Pubs” serve up these awesome potato nachos.. which I’ve had and really love! Regardless what you call them, potatoes with cheese and other toppings are delicious!!
- 5 large yellow skin potatoes scrubbed
- 2 cups cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped bacon or corned beef if you prefer
- 4 sliced green onions
- 1 to mato chopped and drained
- oil for frying or baking, both directions below
- jalapenos
- sour cream & guacamole for serving
-
Slice potatoes 1/4″ thick and place in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes. Drain very well and dry potatoes with paper towel.
-
If baking preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss potatoes with 1/4 cup olive oil. Place on a parchment lined pan and bake 30-35 minutes or until browned and crispy.
-
If frying, preheat oil to 375 degrees. Place potatoes into hot oil for about 7 minutes per batch or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels.
-
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
-
In a bowl, combine cheese, corned beef (or bacon) and half of the green onions. Layer half of the potatoes in an oven proof skillet or dish (a large pie plate works well). Top with half of the cheese.
-
Repeat layers. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted through.
-
Remove from oven and top with remaining green onions, tomato and jalapeno. Serve with guacamole and sour cream.

going to try and also add salsa/ground beef with taco mix
That would be delicious too!
We love them! Just like at our favorite Irish restaurant.
So glad you loved them!
Why do you soak hem in cold water?
This removes some of the starch making them crispier when you cook them. :)
Awesome recipe! Different and delicious, thanks for putting this up.
So glad to hear you loved this Anthony!
Looks great and I’m going to give it a try tonight. Irish is for the “Irish potato” used in the dish. Not the nationality of the dish. Google Irish Potato and you’ll see. :-)
Made these and upped the bacon and used sharp white cheddar cheese instead. OMG!!! Absolutely delicious.
Very easy recipe and sooooooo good!
I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe Mike!
These were very good. The one problem we had was it took 2 1/2 hours to make from start to finish. My husband is a seasoned chef and he still took 2 1/2 hours. maybe we can find a short cut.
Deep fry thinner chips cuts the time to 10 mins.
How many would this serve!
These would serve quite a few people! About 8-10 unless everyone is really, really hungry ;)
Loved it and so did my 12 yr daughter
I’m so you both loved them Lola!
I just made these and they were delicious!!
Those look scrumptious! A must try just in time for St Pattys.
Thank you Janette! :)
Actually, these are quite Irish , with a nod to Spanish cooking . The only thing I change is adding beef . Thanks!
my brother-in-law makes these on the grill…awesome
