2 - Potato Platter

Why have one type of potato when you can have a whole platter of them? This potato platter is an ode to the glorious potato with crinkle cut and straight potato fries, waffle fries, potato latkes, baked potato skins and sweet potato fries with a range of sauces. People will love you when you bring this beauty out!

2 - Irish Wheaten Bread

One of my favourite things that I ate in Northern Ireland was this wheaten bread made with treacle. I loved it so much that I had to recreate it and even served it at Christmas dinner. It goes so well with soups and stews and is a non-yeasted, similar to soda bread.

4 - Irish Potato Candy

This Irish potato candy is so cute and quirky and made with a base of pecans and cream cheese. The recipe is originally from Martha Stewart and I love how much they look like potatoes!

5 - Date Scones

If you're looking for something easy as an afternoon tea on St Patricks day then give these date and ginger scones a try! They need just 10 minutes prep and use crystallised stem ginger and dates. They're one of my favourite ever scones!

So tell me Dear Reader, do you celebrate St Patrick's Day?
