Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 Jalapeños, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Thoroughly wash the russet potatoes (no need to peel them) and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to evenly coat them.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring none overlap.
Bake the potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to an oven-safe platter or keep them on the baking sheet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato slices, followed by the crumbled bacon.
Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and top with chopped green onions and jalapeños, if using.
Serve the Irish Nachos warm with sour cream on the side for dipping or drizzling.
