15 St. Patrick's Day Food Ideas Starring Potatoes, From Pre-Game Appetizers To The Perfect Hangover Dish
As a proud Irish American, I speak from experience when I say Irish celebrations and potatoes go together like, well, meat and potatoes. Irish heritage is so tied to this versatile spud that it would almost be a crime not to make at least one potato recipe to celebrate St.Patrick's Day. Potatoes can be used to make all kinds of dishes, from savory appetizers to hearty main courses, and are the perfect ingredient to include in your pre- and post-pub festivities. So break out the potato peelers, pour yourself a pint, and enjoy these mouth watering recipes.
