Honeyed Apple Pratie

Tue, 24 Aug 2004 19:57:26 -0400

Pratie is Irish for potato. This dish has the comfort of traditional apple pie with a light honey sweetness, not overpowering. I have not had a lot of luck with making pie crusts, so when I came across this Irish recipe I was eager to try it. Its chewy and similar to a cobbler topping in texture. -- posted by Amanda in Aberdeen

Potato Salad With Mustard Dressing and Bacon

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 20:00:05 -0500

This is not your typical potato salad. This makes a lot, but it can be easily reduced. It is also just as good, if not better the next day. This will make a wet salad. If you prefer a drier potato salad increase the amount of potatoes. -- posted by mama's kitchen

St. Patrick's Day Irish Potato Pie

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 20:02:12 -0500

This recipe [sans the garlic and parsley] is from Elswet's grandmother's recipes and is quite old, as she got it from her grandmother. This is really good most anytime, but it's especially good when it's cold outside. This goes great with a potato/cheddar soup, for lunch, or with a green salad and jello with pear halves for dinner. This type of food is typically a bit bland. So we spice it up the tiniest bit to suit our more eclectic palates. -- posted by Pagan

Hash Browns Potato Soup

Mon, 09 May 2005 19:29:56 -0400

This is a super easy and delicious soup from a restaurant called The Market Place. Using precooked or leftover bacon is a time-saver. I use light sour cream and light Velveeta for less fat content. Note that butter is optional, but sour cream a must. Enjoy! -- posted by SmHerndon

Colcannon

Thu, 26 May 2005 09:17:35 -0400

I found this wickedly delicious-sounding recipe for a really creamy colcannon in the March 2005 edition of the BBC Good Food magazine. It is a part of Irish cook Kevin Dundon's suggested St Patrick's Day dinner menu. As he says, 'Side dishes don't come more Irish than creamy colcannon'. I really like the sound of his colcannon, because of its decadent creaminess, because Savoy cabbage is so much tastier than other varieties and because this is certainly my favourite way to cook cabbage: with bacon rather than boiled in water. Sounds like an any-time-of-year dish to me! Well I shan't be waiting until 17 March 2006 before making it anyway! -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Potato and Sausage in Gravy

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 18:08:17 -0400

This is a long time family favorite in my house and is one of our 'comfort' foods. I make this with fresh [raw] sausage from Burton Sausage Co in Burton, TX. If you ever go through the town it is a must stop- Awesome jerky and dry sausage- sausage dried like jerky but not as tough) I got this recipe from a cajun neighbor/friend of mine. Always a 'go to ' when pressed for time or don't feel like cooking! Fits many regional cuisine categories because of it's basic ingredients of sausage, potatoes and onion are staples in many countries across Europe, North America and beyond. Sausage has long been popular in the SW. Maybe it started in covered wagon days and early cowboy days bc it was easy to carry and store??? I have never really measured the items in this recipe- When asked how much? I always say 'enough'. After many requests I decided to try to get it down on paper! So here goes! -- posted by mama's kitchen

Huey's Irish Stew With a Touch of Paris

Tue, 30 Aug 2005 14:49:30 -0400

I found this intriguing recipe in Australian chef Iain Hewitson's book 'Tales and Recipes from a Travelling Cook'. Having tracked down the best Irish stew in Ireland - that served at The Common's Restaurant in Dublin - he arranged for the chef to cook it for him, only to discover that the chef was a Frenchman! Huey reports that the chef was "a terrific cook" and that his Irish stew was "thankfully, absolutely delicious". I've not yet tried this recipe. I've posted it for the Zaar World Tour 2005. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Irish Omelet

Fri, 23 Sep 2005 21:37:04 -0400

A great way to use up leftover boiled, baked or mashed potatoes. I love omelets and separately whipping the egg whites makes this light and fluffy despite the inclusion of potatoes. In case you're wondering about taste - imagine a cross between a knish and a souffle. Other herbs or grated onions might be good variations. -- posted by justcallmetoni

Boxty

Sat, 24 Sep 2005 15:21:14 -0400

Boxty is essentially potato cakes using both grated and mashed potatoes. The word comes from the Irish bac-stai, for the traditional cooking of potatoes on the hob (bac) over an open fire (stai.) Margaret Johnson ("The New Irish Table") gives this recipe for a boxty from a restaurant in Killarney, County Kerry, using only grated potatoes. She recommends serving it with bacon and cabbage or Irish stew. -- posted by Chef Kate

Mashed Potatoes With Roasted Garlic and Herbs

Potatoes are comfort food But when you add Lavender to it and you have real comfort food! Lavender and rosemary are a match made in heaven. Use together or alone. Your choice. You can throw fresh garlic into the potatoes when boiling in place of roasting them for ease. Almost as good as roasted garlic.

Updated Shepherd's Pie

Sun, 04 Mar 2007 15:27:30 -0500

I found this recipe in a Kraft Food & Family magazine and adapted it slightly to fit our tastes. I decreased the amount of beef stock and added the W sauce to make it slightly richer and thicker. DBF ate 2/3 of the pan the first time I made this, so it is definitely a hit around here. For faster prep, use leftover mashers. You could probably also use potato flakes, but I don't like those so I haven't tried it that way. DBF likes to eat his pie with HP sauce; I like it the way it is. -- posted by ksduffster

Main Dish Colcannon (Cabbage, Potatoes and Sausages)

Sun, 09 Dec 2007 02:49:09 -0500

This is a dish that my Scots/Irish grandmother would prepare. Easy on the budget, easy on the cook, stick to your ribs, family pleaser that uses only one very large skillet or dutch oven. It calls for whole all natural ingredients and is ridiculously off the politically correct eating charts! Not for those on a low fat, low carb, low cal, low anything diet. True comfort food! I purchase the sausages from Whole Foods. If you don't want to go to that expense, or you don't have a Whole Foods Market near you, substitute your favorite breakfast sausage. Great St Patrick's Day fare!!! -- posted by Bev in NY

Kale & Potato Hash

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 18:39:53 -0500

From Eating Well magazine, this can be served as a side dish with a steak or pork chops or set a poached egg on top for a hearty breakfast or brunch. A 1- to 1 1/2-pound bunch of kale yields 16 to 24 cups of chopped leaves.When preparing kale for this hash, remove the tough ribs, chop or tear the kale as directed, then wash it--allowing some water to cling to the leaves. The moisture helps steam the kale during the first stages of cooking. Fresh, partially cooked, shredded potatoes for hash browns can be found in the refrigerated produce section and sometimes in the dairy section of most supermarkets. Alternatively, boil potatoes until they can just be pierced with a fork but are not completely tender. Let cool slightly, then shred. -- posted by ~Jen~

Dublin Coddle - Irish Sausage, Bacon, Onion and Potato Hotpot

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 00:30:17 -0500

This traditional supper dish of sausages, bacon, onions and potatoes dates back at least as far as the early eighteenth century. It seems to be more of a city dish than a rural one: it was a favourite of Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels and dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. In Dublin itself, coddle retains its reputation as a dish that can be prepared ahead of time and left in a very slow oven while the people who're going to eat it have to be out of the house for a while - making it an excellent dish for very busy people! The name of the dish is probably descended from the older word caudle, derived from a French word meaning "to boil gently, parboil, or stew". The more recent version of the verb, "coddle," is still applied to gently cooked eggs, "Coddled Eggs". Please note, the sausages used should be the best quality 100% pork sausages you can get your hands on! This recipe would also work VERY well if cooked in a crock-pot, reduce the liquid by about half if cooking the coddle this way. Serve with Guinness and Irish soda bread. Although this is an easy to prepare one pot meal and its simplicity belies its amazing taste and flavour - comfort food at its best! Sláinte. -- posted by French Tart

Brotchan Foltchep - Potato & Leek Soup

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:43:14 -0500

This traditional leak and oatmeal soup has been served in Ireland for generations. Most cooks now prefer to combine leeks with potatoes, however, to make this perennial favorite. This recipe is also called Brotchan Roy meaning "A broth fit for a king". The word "roy" is derived from Ri - the Irish word for King. Savory hot biscuits are a fine accompaniment for soup. Add the herb seasoning of your choice to your biscuit mix before adding the liquid. -- posted by Annacia

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 02:22:41 -0500

This is my favorite variation of potato leek soup. It's a bit elaborate, especially with the garnishes, but can easily be toned down. The steps to make the potato croutons to garnish are at the end. Also note that if you let potato-leek soup stand, it will thicken considerably. When you reheat it, just thin it out with milk. -- posted by Starrah

Shepherd's Pie

This is my favorite Shepherd's Pie recipe, which I arrived at by combining elements from several other recipes, starting with the one in The Joy of Cooking. It really is delicious and it's hard to stop eating. -- posted by bons

Cabbage & Potato Bake

This recipe is quite delicious with corned beef. It is much tastier than boiled vegetables. I believe I cut this recipe out of a magazine years ago. -- posted by Chef Tami 2

Irish Beef Hand Pies

On St Patrick's Day or on any other day, tuck the makings of traditional beef-and-potato stew into flaky pastries you can bake straight from the freezer. These are like empanadas and can be stuffed with all vegetables, or maybe berries of some kind, or sausages and/or other meats. Everyday Food or Martha Stewart web site.;) -- posted by Manami

Baked Potato Soup

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:39:59 -0400

This is a wonderful, hearty soup. I like potato soup and find that many restaurants are leaning towards cheddar cheese potato soups. They are ok but I prefer a hearty potato soup that actually tastes of potato. This makes a large batch, my family always asks for some when I make it and the leftovers are terrific. -- posted by HeathersArk

Paul's Irish Boxty

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 01:18:33 -0400

This is from the June19th issue of a local paper " Coastal Point." Because my paternal grandmother was from Ireland, I am drawn to Irish recipes. The author especially liked these Irish potato cakes when he visited Ireland. He says that boxty is the perfect morning-after remedy if, by mistake, you lost count of the number of cocktails you drank the night before. I like black pepper so I would add that to the ingredients myself. I can't wait to try these! He sometimes makes a rich Divan sauce to top the boxty: Heat 1 can of cream of chicken soup, then stir in some cheddar cheese until melted. -- posted by Debaylady

Terrific and Tasty Tidy Friday Pan Fry!

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 17:41:32 -0400

Another BRILLIANT idea from Nigel Slater and his new programme, "Simple Suppers". I love the idea of this, and can see all sorts of possibilities for what to "raid" from the fridge at the end of the week. I like his suggestions for bacon and bangers, and especially when served with crisp, green cabbage. An excellent, hearty supper dish and one that would be great for the children too - the greens being "hidden" amongst all the spuds, bacon and sausages etc! (By Nigel Slater. From Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers.) -- posted by French Tart

Grandda's Irish Potato Soup

My grandda was known for his soups and also for his saying "if not for soups, poor people would starve" People have said it tastes like O'charley's but I think his is much, much better -- posted by GingerlyJ
