Looking for a new way to get your corned beef and cabbage fix? This Irish Nachos recipe is the perfect way to satisfy that craving…even when it’s not St. Patrick’s Day!
Even if you don’t celebrate the holiday and even if you’re not the slightest bit Irish, if you like corned beef…you’re going to love this recipe!
It’s super easy to make and if you really wanted to cut down your time in the kitchen, you could substitute french fries or home fries for the fried potatoes.
Can’t get your hands on corned beef at your local store? Make your own at home or pick up some pastrami instead.
No sauerkraut on hand? Use shredded cabbage instead.
Don’t skimp on the cheddar…that’s a necessary ingredient in anything this good. I get this delicious Kerrygold Duliner Cheese at my local BJs, but if you can’t find it in your local grocery, you can order it from Amazon instead.
All ready to make some Irish Nachos?
Good, let’s head to the kitchen…
First, wash and slice some red potatoes. You’ll want them to be about 1/4 inch thick.
Next, mix up the batter. Add about a cup of flour, some salt, pepper, garlic powder and about a cup and half of cold water to a large bowl. Whisk until creamy and combined.
Now, heat up some oil in a large dutch oven or deep fryer.
Dip the potato slices into the batter and drop, one by one, into the hot oil. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel, then arrange potato slices on a large baking sheet.
Slice 1/2 lb. or so of corned beef and sprinkle it all over the top of the potato slices.
Sprinkle on a good quality sauerkraut, then top with shredded Irish cheddar cheese.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve hot with ketchup, spicy brown mustard or my favorite…horseradish.
