Red Oak Planked Irish Nachos
My new favorite game time snack. I saw these done in cast iron on my Instagram feed and thought that would be amazing on a plank! Usually there is some kind of cured meat product tossed on these, so feel free to put bacon or even pastrami on top!
TOTAL TIME
Active Time 30 minutes
SERVINGS
4 people (as a side)
INGREDIENTS
- 5″x11″ Red Oak Grilling Plank

- ½ cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 Jalapeno, sliced
- ¼ cup Tomatoes, diced
- 1 ea Avocado, diced
- Lime Wedges
- Scallion Greens, chopped
- Sour Cream

CHEF'S TIP
To create a two-zone fire, position coals on one side of the grill for direct, high-heat cooking and searing and leave the other side empty. You can use the side without coals for lower-temperature cooking and as a safe zone for flare-ups.
DIRECTIONS
- Soak plank in hot water for at least 15 minutes
- Set up grill for two zone cooking
- Thinly slice potatoes
- Arrange potatoes on plank, sprinkle with salt and pepper
- Place plank over direct heat – until plank starts smoking (5-10 minutes)
- Move plank to indirect heat

- Add sliced jalapenos and cook and addition 10 minutes

*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
