You got woken up by an earthquake, forgot to wear green, and found out that Snooki’s guest-starring on your favorite TV show. It’s been a long day, but you finally made it: Monday afternoon. Whatever the clock says, it’s still not too late to celebrate one of the best drinking holidays around. You just have to play it smart.

Tonight, skip the sausage and mash and head straight for the gorgeously starchy, marvelously stacked potato mountains called Irish Nachos. Traditionally dressed with all manner of cheese, sour cream, bacon bits, and green onions, these deep fried potato discs are perfect for soaking up all that green beer you’re about to chug.
