Irish Nachos
We stopped at a Wayback Burgers in Newcastle Wyoming yesterday. Had never been there before, and did not know they were a national and international chain. Original name was Jakes Wayback Burgers when founded back east.There was a girls swimming meet in Newcastle yesterday, and Wayback Burgers was giving all the participants a free shake so was busy.
I had Irish Nachos. Handcut homemade potato chips instead of corn chips, with chili, cheese, onions, and jalapenos served nacho style. Pretty darn good. Never heard of this nacho variation before. Not a diet food though!

So what made them Irish?
I was expecting to hear about some Jameson‘s poured over the chips or something ...

Sounds a little like the fries I used to get at Hooters. Curly fries with sour cream, salsa, cheese, jalapenos, and ground beef. Listed as an appetizer, IIRC, but could literally be a meal by itself for one person.

I'm guessing it had to do with the potato chips.

I used to make those all the time before I started paying closer attention to what I eat. Never heard 'em called Irish Nachos, though. Or Irish anything for that matter.
To me, they were just a variation on homemade "potato chips"...the variations are only limited by your imagination. I always left the outer skin on, and sliced 'em just shy of .25-inch thick. Always sprinkle on the spices of your choice while they're fresh out of the cooking oil.
My dad showed me how to make 'em for a quick after school snack/meal. Back then, I just limited them to salt, pepper, and catsup. Or maybe even A1.
Wow. Wish I hadn't started thinking/talking about this.

I guess because they're made with Irish potatoes...what we called white potatoes a long time ago. All white potatoes, regardless of species. No Yukon Golds in those days.
