Loaded Irish Pub Potatoes
These Loaded Irish Pub Potato Nachos make the ultimate appetizer for St. Patrick's Day celebrations, featuring crispy potatoes, gooey cheese, and savory bacon.
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 strips bacon
- 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 3/4 cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the potatoes well and slice them in 1/4 inch rounds.
- Put them into a bowl and toss them with the cooking oil, salt, black pepper, onion and garlic powders. Lay them out on the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake them for 15 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes.
- When done, use a oven safe pan, casserole dish, or baking sheet greased or covered in parchment to finish off the potatoes.
- Stack half the potatoes in a single layer, then cover with half the cheese and bacon. Continue with the second layer.
- Place them back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- Top with green onions and sour cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use a mandolin or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into uniform slices about 1/4-inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and get perfectly crispy. You want them to be crisp but strong enough to pick up without breaking.
- Russet potatoes are great for this recipe, you could also use Yukon gold potatoes.
- For the best bite every time, layer the toppings in intervals—potatoes, cheese, bacon, and repeat—before finishing with fresh ingredients like scallions or sour cream.
