Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash potatoes thoroughly and slice them into ¼-inch thick rounds. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
2
Bake potatoes for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly golden. For crispier potatoes, you can broil for a few minutes at the end, watching carefully to prevent burning.
3
While potatoes bake, heat a large oven-safe skillet (like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook until the liquid has mostly reduced, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
5
Arrange the baked potato slices evenly in the skillet over the seasoned beef. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese and scatter the sliced jalapeños on top. Place the skillet back in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6
Remove from oven. Let cool for a few minutes before serving directly from the skillet. Top with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of meat for the nachos?

Absolutely! Shredded cooked chicken, ground lamb, or even a vegetarian ground substitute would work well. Adjust cooking times as needed for your chosen protein.

What other toppings can I add to these Irish nachos?

Feel free to get creative! Diced tomatoes, black olives, green onions, a drizzle of hot sauce, or even a sprinkle of crumbled feta or cotija cheese would be delicious additions.

How can I make the potato slices extra crispy?

For maximum crispiness, ensure your potato slices are thin and spread in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet. You can also par-boil them for 5 minutes before tossing with oil and spices, then baking. A final broil for 1-2 minutes (watching carefully!) can also help achieve extra crispness.
