With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, we put together some of our favourite recipes to help you get into the Irish spirit. Give one of these recipes a try to add a bit of Irish flair to your holiday celebrations.

 

Irish Colcannon

Anything that involves mashed potatoes is a winner in my book. While traditionally served in the fall, colcannon makes a great side anytime of the year.

Traditional Irish soda bread should be at every dinner table. Just don’t forget to make a cross on your dough to let the fairies out.
