Reuben Nachos (Loaded Reuben Potato Nachos)

Reuben Nachos – Crispy potatoes piled high with corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and a generous drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.

Some foods were simply destined to collide.

Take nachos. Take a Reuben. Throw crispy potatoes into the mix and suddenly you’ve got something that feels like it should be served in a loud Irish pub with a cold beer and good friends.

These Reuben Nachos – aka Pachos – are everything you love about the classic sandwich, just piled high on crispy potatoes instead of rye bread. We’re talking chopped corned beef, melty Swiss cheese, tangy sauerkraut and a good drizzle of Thousand Island dressing.

It’s salty. It’s cheesy. It’s crunchy. It’s just a little messy in the best possible way.

And if you happen to have leftover corned beef hanging around (looking at you, St. Patrick’s Day), Reuben Nachos might be the most delicious thing you can do with it.

Why You’ll Love Reuben Nachos

• Perfect use for leftover corned beef 
• Crispy potatoes replace chips for extra heft 
• All the classic Reuben flavors 
• Great party or game day food
  

Basically, it’s nachos… but with a deli counter attitude. Now, in case you’re wondering, these Reuben Nachos are similar to Irish nachos. The difference is that Irish Nachos also have the addition of chopped bacon, sour cream and green onions.

Quick Tips

Use crispy potatoes
Frozen crinkle fries, waffle fries, or tater tots work great. The crispier the better so they can hold all the toppings.

Drain the sauerkraut well
Too much liquid will make the potatoes soggy.

Shred your own Swiss
It melts smoother than pre-shredded cheese that’s coated in a wax-like substance (and who wants to eat that??)

Warm the corned beef
Just a quick sauté wakes up the flavor.

Serving Ideas

These are fantastic as:

• a St. Patrick’s Day appetizer 
• game day food 
• a late night snack situation 
• or honestly… dinner if nobody’s judging (it’s a starch, protein and dairy!)
  

And around here, nobody’s judging.

2. Arrange potato slices evenly on the baking sheet, not overlapping.
