Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

This pub style comfort food is a delicious twist on traditional nachos and makes a tasty addition to your St Patrick’s Day meal!

Ingredients

• 24 oz bag small yellow potatoes
• 1/2 lb deli sliced corned beef chopped
• 1 cup Swiss cheese shredded

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Wash and thinly slice potatoes.

• Line a baking sheet or two with aluminum and pour the potatoes on, spreading out evenly.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Stir then roast for another 5 minutes.
• Remove from oven and turn on broiler.
• Either use another lined baking sheet or remove half the potatoes to a plate.
• Start with 1/2 the roasted potatoes in the baking pan.
• Add 1/2 the chopped corned beef and shredded cheese all over the potatoes.
• Add the remaining potatoes on top then add remaining meat and cheese and sprinkle on green onions.

• Scoop onto a large platter or individual plates and serve warm with 1000 Island dressing drizzled on top or sour cream on the side for dipping.

Wash and thinly slice potatoes. 

Add potatoes to a bowl and drizzle on oil and seasoning. Toss to coat.

I used 1 tbsp Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (pepper, salt, garlic, onion ) and vegetable oil. 

Mix well.

Line a baking sheet or two with aluminum and pour the potatoes on, spreading out evenly.
Roast at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Stir then roast for another 5 minutes.

While the potatoes cook prepare your toppings. I chop up 1/2 lb sliced corned beef and shred 1 cup of Swiss cheese.

Also dice two green onions. My husband likes 1000 Island drizzled on top right before serving. 

Either use another lined baking sheet or remove half the potatoes to a plate.
Start with 1/2 the roasted potatoes in the baking pan. 

Add 1/2 the chopped corned beef and shredded cheese all over the potatoes. 

Add the remaining potatoes on top.

Then add remaining meat and cheese and sprinkle on green onions.

Broil for 1-2 minutes, until toppings are melted and warmed.

Remove from oven and serve immediately. 

Scoop onto a large platter or individual plates and serve warm.

Optional: Drizzle 1000 Island dressing on top or serve sour cream on the side for dipping.

Baked Tornado Potatoes

Ingredients

• 4 small-medium potatoes {I recommend Yukon gold}
• oil for basting
• 1/4 cup seasoning blend of choice

Instructions

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before they go in the oven.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Skewer potatoes and use a knife to spiral cut them by holding the knife at an angle and rotating the potato to make spiral slices {but not cutting all the way through}.
• Gently stretch the slices along the skewer.
• Brush potatoes all over with oil then cover with seasoning.
• Place on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 45 minutes, flipping over half way through.
• Serve warm with ketchup or sour cream for dipping.

Notes

You can use any potato but I found small/med potatoes like Yukon Gold and Red are easier to cut and spiral. Large baker potatoes were much harder to skewer and cut thin before baking. Also if you use a larger potato adjust your cooking time accordingly.

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes before they go in the oven.

Skewer potatoes and position in the center of each skewer.

Now use a thin knife to spiral cup the potatoes.

Hold the knife at an angle and rotate the potato to make spiral slices
{but not cutting all the way through}.

Gently stretch the slices along the skewer.

Brush potatoes all over with oil.

Now cover with seasoning. I like garlic salt blends, barbecue maple, or lemon pepper.

Place on a lined baking sheet.

 Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees, flipping over half way through.

Serve warm with ketchup or sour cream for dipping.

When I think of boxtys, which are breaded and fried mashed potato balls, I think of fun, messy but good, party food. These boxtys are inspired by one of my favorite Southern recipes: the Kentucky Hot Brown sandwich. I start with my homemade Parmesan garlic mashed potatoes and add roasted turkey breast and bacon. Serve these hot and crisp boxtys with a side of white cheddar sauce garnished with chives and tomato.

Try using your leftover Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes for this recipe. Gravy or cranberry sauce would also be a delicious dipping sauce!
