Irish Nachos

Servings: 4
Time: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 lb russet potatoes (Could swap for sweet potatoes)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp dried thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon (or meat of your choice - I substituted 1 lb ground beef)
¼ cup sour cream (or low fat plain greek yogurt)
¼ cup pico de gallo style salsa (or normal if that’s all you have)
2 minced green onions
1 tbsp chopped cilantro 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Wash and dry potatoes, leaving skin on. Slice into ¼ inch slices and place in a large bowl.
  3. Drizzle olive oil, rosemary, and thyme over potatoes. Stir to combine.
  4. Place potatoes in a single layer on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, turn over and bake for another 20 minutes.
  5. Prepare bacon or ground beef per your preference. If using ground beef, drain excess fat and season with salt & pepper to taste. 
  6. Remove the potatoes from the baking sheet and place on an oven safe skillet, slightly overlapping the edges.
  7. Sprinkle with cheese and meat of choice and return to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted. 
  8. Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro and serve with sour cream and salsa.
