In the North of Ireland, locals treat themselves to this enormous breakfast on the weekends. The fried breads make it unique. Soda bread and potato farls are cooked in reserved bacon fat making them golden and crispy. Served alongside Irish bacon, sausage, black pudding, tomato and egg - you won't need to eat again for the rest of the day! 

Classic Irish Boiled Dinner

I grew up eating this boiled dinner on Sundays When I visited my Irish Granny. One of the things that makes this recipe special is that instead of corned beef, it calls for Smoked Shoulder. Oh What A yummy smell will fill your kitchen as this cooks!

Potato bread farls are pan fried to make one of the essential components of an Ulster fry. They taste great on their own with a little salt, or with a fried egg on top.

Here's a cozy dish to comfort on a dark and stormy night. A creamy, fragrant stew of chicken, celery, onions, carrots, peas and potatoes plays host to biscuit dough, dropped by the spoonful into the boiling hot liquid. Simmer until the dumplings are done.

While Colcannon seems to be associated with St. Patrick's Day, I love the combination of potatoes, cabbage, onion and bacon all through the cooler months of Fall and Winter! I attend an annual St. Patty's Day party and this is the dish I'm always asked to bring... and I'm happy to say that the bowl comes home empty every time!

Juicy cubes of lamb are tossed in seasoned flour and browned in bacon fat - and that's just the start of this rich and hearty stew! Garlic, onion, beef stock, carrots, potatoes, thyme, bay leaves, and wine all converge to make a one-pot Irish feast.

This apricot sweet sauce really brings out the flavor in corned beef. It is great to serve the sauce over cooked carrots also!

A cute little confection that looks just like little potatoes. This kind does not contain potatoes; they are made using cream cheese and coconut.

This stew is great for St. Patrick's Day. The mixture of the beef and Guinness is awesome! I usually add more beer than the recipe calls for. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Mouth watering tender corned beef with corned beef flavored potatoes, cabbage, and carrots. This is my great grandmothers recipe from Ireland. This was served with both Irish soda bread and corn bread at our house.
