Garlic Rosemary Potatoes - Mashed With Squash

Mon, 07 Oct 2002 22:11:54 -0400

Okay, so sometimes you just have to hide squash in things--but the squash gives mashed potatoes a creamier but almost bolder taste. Im a garlic fiend, so the garlic sets off the creaminess with almost a tang. I found this recipe in a magazine and changed it a little bit. Great with a mushroom gravy or some steamed veggies. -- posted by carley king

Kohl Cannon or Colcannon

Tue, 12 Nov 2002 20:09:30 -0500

This recipe is courtesy of my Scottish roots. Kohl Cannon can be made in various ways, depending on whether you are Irish, German, or Scottish. No matter how it is made, the eating of Kohl Cannon was a common custom on Halloween. In it would be buried, well wrapped in waxed paper or foil for today's world, 4 favors. A penny (for wealth), a button (for poverty), a ring (for marriage, and a matchstick (for spinsterhood). Much excitement was aroused, especially among the young lassies who were hopeful that the Kohl Cannon would foretell their future happiness! This recipe is the Scot's Way! -- posted by SilentCricket

The best Corned Beef I've ever made was in the Crock pot. (You can substitute water for beer, but the flavor won't be the same) NOTE: If you make more than 3-4 lbs., cook it on HIGH. I've made 6-7 lbs., and it won't be done after 9 hours on LOW. ANOTHER NOTE: This makes wonderful sandwiches if you cook it, then chill it before slicing. -- posted by papergoddess

Pratie is Irish for potato. This dish has the comfort of traditional apple pie with a light honey sweetness, not overpowering.

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

Puree Verte - Potato, Fennel, and Fava Mash

Mon, 16 May 2005 16:15:41 -0400

It amuses me that this outstanding recipe has such an unassuming name. It should be called something like "The Most Excellent Combination of Potato and Other Vegetables You Can Have the Pleasure of Knowing." We made the recipe at our Culinary Communion class recently, and it was so popular at the dinner table that the serving bowl and spoon were licked clean. The serving bowl full was dipped into even before we sat down at the table - you can see how much was missing, already, in my photo. We couldn't remember what the name of it was as it was passed around the table, so we fondly called it "Green Glop." So, here it is. From Chef Gabriel Claycamp comes this keeper recipe for Green Gl... um, I mean Puree Verte. Posted with permission. -- posted by Julesong

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

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.

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

Found this in a sort of promotion for St. Patrick's day and it was actually really good. They turn out quite well if you fry them quickly and pop them in the oven. -- posted by Cate <3

It's cold outside. You're feeling blue. You need rumbledethumps, it's so comforting! If you're feeling really down, top with a fried egg. Adapted from Good Cooking by Jill Dupleix. Enjoy! -- posted by Sharon123

Caraway Cabbage With Sausage and Potatoes

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 02:56:35 -0400

This is so much better when made with cabbage and potatoes straight from the ground. Most people I know use just a couple of tablespoons of spicy or hot sweet mustard, but I just use regular yellow mustard (and more of it) due to personal preference. I also use a lower fat pork & alligator sausage from Winn-Dixie that might not be available everywhere. I'm sure it would work with any kind. -- posted by sanguis

Northern Ireland Potato Soup

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 03:39:06 -0400

I actually got this recipe in my home-ec class in high school. My BF (and my ex-BF) loved this soup so much! It is perfect for cold fall days, and makes enough to warm up a family. So creamy! You can sub half and half for the heavy cream to save on calories, but the soup doesn't come out as thick so I just try to eat healthy the rest of the day to make up for it :) -- posted by Smoofinator

Irish Beef Hand Pies

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:07:34 -0400

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

Fish and Chips Bits

A traditional pub treat as an appetizer! Sprinkle with malt vinegar and salt for an authentic touch. When deep frying, the most important thing to monitor is the oil temperature. If you don't have a fryer with a thermostat, go to your local kitchen shop and purchase a good quality deep fry thermometer. From an old newspaper clipping. -- posted by Molly53
