I’ve been living under the Blarney Stone….

I’ve been living under the Blarney Stone, because I have never heard of this recipe!  Irish Nachos is associated with Ireland in name only but was invented in one of the Emerald Isle’s colonies, Chicago, Illinois at a pub called McGee’s at 950 West Webster Street.  Instead of tortilla chips, they use waffle fries!  How brilliant is that?

Irish Nachos

Serves 8

4 cups frozen waffle fries
2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
4 ounces sliced deli corned beef, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives

Bake fries according to package directions. Remove from oven. Top fries with cheese and corned beef. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with sour cream and chives.
