When it comes to St. Patrick’s Day, it’s always nice to have a little something Irish or Irish inspired on the menu. You’ll a few recipes that are also perfect for that leftover corned beef!
We can all be Irish for a day, at at least! Here are some of my favourite St. Patrick's Day recipes, to celebrate the day.
Irish Scones
Delicious Irish Scones, studded with currants and flavoured with a touch of orange zest. Crispy, tender, flaky, buttery, sweet and salty, all in one perfect bite!
The love child of Shepherd's Pie and Corned Beef Hash! With a delicious corned beef filling, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Can be made with leftover corned beef or canned corned beef.
Traditional Irish potato cakes known as Boxty, made using a mixture of cooked, mashed potatoes and raw, grated potato, fried in a hot skillet in small (or one large) rounds until golden brown.
Inspired by the Irish dish colcannon, this soup is hearty, comforting and delicious. Featuring leeks, cabbage and potatoes, it’s filling enough for a meal!
Delicious corned beef and cabbage, in pot pie form! Starts with cooked corned beef and store-bought puff pastry, so easy and a great use for your leftover corned beef. You can make the filling ahead and refrigerate.
Potatoes, layered with crispy bacon and caramelized onions, topped off with a generous layer of melted cheese. I love Dubliner cheese, or try Swiss, Asiago, Gruyere or an aged cheddar. White potatoes or yellow-fleshed potatoes are great for this dish.
Smooth rich chocolate pudding, served in espresso cups and flavoured with coffee and Irish Cream liqueur. A perfect meal ender. Makes 2. Double or triple as needed.
