Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups (180 grams) sturdy kettle-cooked or thick-cut potato chips
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) cooked and shredded corned beef
  • 1½ cups (150 grams) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced (optional)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded corned beef and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and slightly crispy on the edges. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Spread the kettle-cooked chips evenly across the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Scatter the sautéed corned beef evenly over the chips.
  5. Generously sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the corned beef and chips.
  6. Scatter the sliced green onions and jalapeño slices over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in spots. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. While baking, mix the sour cream with Dijon mustard in a small bowl until combined.
  9. Remove the nachos from the oven and drizzle the sour cream mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use thicker kettle-cooked or ridged chips to prevent sogginess. Freshly shred Swiss cheese for better melting. Serve immediately after baking for best texture. The recipe is adaptable for vegetarian and dairy-free diets by substituting corned beef and cheese accordingly. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
