Ingredients

8 servings

•

6 large potatoes, peeled
•

1 cup vegetable oil for frying
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

1 onion, chopped
•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

1 pound ground beef
•

2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup

•

1 ½ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
•

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
•

1 cup panko bread crumbs
•

⅔ cup shredded Irish Cheddar cheese (such as Dubliner®)
•

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 serving cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice potatoes into medium rounds.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry potato rounds until starting to turn brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook and stir until browned and no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drain the pan.
Combine beef mixture and cream of chicken soup in a large bowl. Add mild Cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine panko bread crumbs with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese and melted butter.
Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese. Cover with 1/2 of the beef mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes, Irish Cheddar, and beef mixture. Top with panko mixture.
Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
