Many of you have requested a St Patricks Day menu in preparation for dinners and parties for the upcoming fun day. Although I am not Irish, I had a very close neighbor woman at one time who gave me many tips of Irish cooking. She pointed out that much of it is similar to my German background, using many of the same ingredients such as potatoes.

No dinner is special without Irish potatoes recipes. The versatility of potatoes is evident in Ireland. You might have a colcannon recipe made with mashed potatoes and onions and other ingredients like kale or cabbage and maybe even sausage, thick and creamy potato soups, stews with potatoes, potato cakes, pancakes and even potato candy; the options are endless for Irish potatoes.
