Irish Nachos with Corned Beef are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! Thin, crispy potatoes topped with corned beef and tons of cheddar cheese.

Scale

Ingredients

  • Canola or vegetable oil for frying
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 cups leftover corned beef, shredded or diced
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cabbage
  • Sprouts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Add the oil to a deep pot, no more than halfway full, over medium heat until it reached 400 degrees. Alternately, you can bake or air fry the potato chips. See the note section below for details.
  3. Slice potatoes 1/4″ thick on a mandoline slicer (or carefully with a sharp knife) and then place in a bowl of ice water to soak for 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and dry very well with paper towels. Water will make the oil splatter so the potatoes must be dry!
  4. Once the oil comes to temperature, fry the potatoes in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown. Remove the potatoes to a paper towel lined baking sheet, then lightly season the potatoes with salt while still hot. Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
  5. Place the fried potatoes onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Top with the corned beef, cabbage and cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Remove the nachos from the oven, top with the sprouts and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

To bake the potatoes: Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking oil and place the potato slices on in an even layer. Season the potatoes with salt and then spray oil. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes, flip the potatoes and bake another 7-8 minutes until brown and crispy.

Air fry: Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees. Season the potato slices with salt and add them to the air fryer. You’ll have to do this in a couple of batches, depending on how large of an air fryer you have. Spray the potatoes with oil and toss. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes.
