Idaho® Potato Reuben Irish Nachos

Well look at that… it’s Nacho O’clock and Idaho Red Potatoes serve as the perfect base for this dish! Slice them thin, give them a light oil coating, and bake in the oven for 12 minutes on each side. Once perfectly crispy, create a layer of potatoes at the bottom of a pan or baking dish and top with chopped corned beef and sauerkraut. Grated Swiss cheese and bacon bits go atop the pile before being baked for another 10-15 minutes to melt the cheese. Top with scallions, Thousand Island dressing, and any other fixings your heart desires.

Ask Dr. Potato

Q: How can I cook meat and potatoes at the same time? If I am cooking the meat at a lower oven temp, 325F for example, how can I cook the potatoes?

A: The two can be readily combined, either in onedish – or separately as you describe. Typically, a 400°F oven will bake a potato in about an hour. As for combining in a 325°F oven, the potatoes will still bake up fine – just allow more time for the potatoes to cook. Any way you choose, baked potatoes will be done when a fork pierces the potato easily and the interior flesh reaches 210°F.
