Notes
Shred your own cheese: Store-bought shredded cheese doesn't melt as well as freshly shredded cheese because of the additives in there to stop the strands sticking to each other. Those additives also affect how well the cheese melts, so shred your own.
Uniform potato slices: I like to use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices, so they cook evenly.
Serve right away: You'll get the crispiest and tastiest results if you serve your Irish nachos immediately while they're nice and hot from the oven.
Get creative with the toppings: Anything goes, including any Tex-Mex toppings or even Irish inspired ones like corned beef and shredded cabbage.
