Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425° and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Slice the potatoes into 1/4" thick rings and add the sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil and sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes to evenly distribute the seasoning and lay out in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Bake for 30-32 minutes, until the potatoes are golden brown across the tops. While the potatoes are baking, fry the bacon and make the cheese sauce.
- Add the diced bacon to a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crispy, 6-8 minutes. Set bacon aside on a plate lined with a paper towel.
- For the cheese sauce, add 1 tablespoon of oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Allow to come to temperature and sprinkle over the flour. Whisk about 1 minute. Do not allow the flour to brown.
- Begin adding the half-and-half one generous splash at a time, whisking well after each addition. Once all of the half-and-half has been added, allow the mixture to simmer 4-5 minutes, just until slightly thickened.
- Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of Cheddar cheese and a generous pinch of Kosher salt. Set aside.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, drizzle with the cheese sauce, cheese curds (if using), the remaining 1/2 cup of Cheddar, and diced bacon.
- If desired, return to the oven for 4-5 minutes, just until the cheese curds have melted. Top with sliced green onions and sour cream (if using), serve, and enjoy!

IRISH NACHOS
J. Gilligan's Bar & Grill located in Arlington, Texas is believed to have invented the dish. It gets the "Irish" part of its name from the potatoes, which is something Ireland is famous for. And I love potatoes!!!

CHICKEN NACHOS
Super-simple but totally killer nachos! These are to die for with some guacamole, sour cream and salsa. If it's too spicy for you, just leave out the cayenne.
