Irish Nachos

Living in the great Southwest means growing up loving certain flavors. When my boys have to fend for themselves, they make cheese crisps (quesadillas) or nachos. Sometimes they come up with some interesting combos! For instance, my eldest concocted this with Wasabi Doritos.

Most times our nachos come out looking something like this:

Kristin's Improv Challenge for this month utilized potatoes & cheese for our base ingredients. This gave opportunity to add another bit of international flair to our nacho repertoire. And how appropriate for St. Patty's day!

We started with a base of oven-fried potatoes. (Recipes all over the internet! Here's a simple one, if you need it.)

We like to pile on the feather shred. (The boys are partial to medium cheddar.) 

I stuck the plate back into the oven so it could get good & melty...

... & a dollop of sour cream topped that.

Sprinkle on a bit of green onion...

...and garnish with finely shredded (raw) cabbage.

Forget the forks! 

Dive in with both hands!

It is that good!
