The typical nacho platter has been reinvented with Irish nachos. Using fresh-cut potatoes, stout-flavored cheese, and green salsa, the recipe marries an American classic with the flavor of an Irish pub.
For a small party of four or five individuals, it’s a delectably sumptuous snack.
On game day or St. Patrick’s Day, the nachos are delicious with a pint of Guinness.
