Crispy Baked Irish Potato Nachos
These easy Irish-style nachos put a hearty spin on traditional nachos by swapping tortilla chips for crispy roasted potato slices. Loaded with melted cheddar cheese, crunchy bacon, and fresh green onions, they deliver the perfect combination of cheesy, smoky, and savory flavors in every bite.
The potatoes bake until perfectly crisp on the outside while staying tender in the middle, creating an ideal base for all the delicious toppings. With only four ingredients, this simple recipe is great for parties, game nights, casual gatherings, or an easy comfort-food snack.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Russet potatoes, sliced ⅛–¼ inch thick | 2 lbs |
| Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded | 8 oz |
| Thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled | 6 slices |
| Green onions, thinly sliced | 3 |
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the potatoes
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the potato slices in a single layer, slightly overlapping if needed.
Step 2: Bake until crispy
Roast the potatoes for 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking, until the edges are golden and crisp.
Step 3: Add cheese and bacon
Gather the roasted potatoes slightly closer together on the baking sheet. Evenly scatter the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top.
Step 4: Melt the toppings
Place the pan back in the oven for 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 5: Garnish and serve
Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions right away. Serve hot with sour cream, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
