St. Patrick’s Day is not only about the wearing of the green, it’s also full of delicious Irish recipes for suppers, dessert and all those corned beef leftovers! Here is your complete collection of St. Patrick’s Day recipes. ☘️
In our Irish home this is such a beloved holiday that we simply call it The Day! And along with the Irish music and the wearing of the green, one of the best parts of The Day is the Irish feast (right down to that bowl of trifle you see up there 👆 for dessert.
So from the star of the show…the tender and spicy corned beef…to ideas for corned beef leftovers, here are ten of our favorite Irish recipes. ☘️
#1: Easy Irish Corned Beef
Thanks for the info about the different cuts of corned beef… never knew why sometimes it shredded and sometimes it sliced easily!!! ~ Carol
Corned Beef is a breeze to make as long as you have the inside info about the different cuts of corned beef and how to season and cook it…and we have all that Irish wisdom right here! PRO TIP: Cook this a day in advance for the very best results.
#2: Upside Down Shepherd’s Pie
LOVE this recipe! I sprinkled a little cheese on mine and it was perfection. Will definitely be making again! ~ Lexi
Yes, this is technically a spin on cottage pie because we are using beef and not lamb, but whatever you call it, it is an easy and scrumptious St. Patrick’s Day main course!
#3: Guinness Beef Stew
Love this easy recipe beef stew! We love an Irish twist for St Pattys (or all year long really!) ~ Martha
And speaking of beef, maybe you would rather have a hearty beef stew on your St. Patrick’s Day table? This one is full of carrots and potatoes…and cooks up in some Guinness draught for extra Irish flavor!
#4: Carrot Mashed Potatoes
This brings back memories for me from childhood. Whenever we had pot roast or stew with both potatoes and carrots, we’d always put them on our plate, mash them together, add butter, salt and pepper. This is a great side dish version!. ~ Paula
Welcome to the side dish section of this round-up! Potatoes are an essential part of any Irish dinner, and there are so many ways to serve them up. These carrot mashed potatoes are a delicious and colorful option.
#5: Boxty Potatoes
Used these as a breakfast item with eggs on top! Scrumptious and came out perfect! Thank you!! ~ Jim
These Irish potato pancakes are a huge hit in my house…especially with a slather of Irish butter on top. They are an easy combo of shredded and mashed potatoes fried up to golden deliciousness. HEAVEN! 😇
#6: Irish Brown Bread
Such a simple bread recipe that I can’t mess up! I am going to make this the whole month of March! ~ Elaine
My mama gave me the recipe for this brown bread, and it is my favorite bread in the world, on St. Patrick’s Day and every day. Hearty, dense and packed with flavor…you are going to LOVE this one.
#7: Colcannon
Delicious. The Irish version of French mashed potatoes with carrots. ~ Rickye
Back at the potatoes, Colcannon is probably the most well known Irish side dish. It’s a buttery mixture of mashed potatoes and cabbage and if you’ve never tried it, now is the time!
#8: Trifle
Love this recipe! It came out amazing and it reminds me of the episode of friends where they make trifle. Amazing! ~ Tracey
How pretty is this dessert? And it’s as delicious as it is beautiful. Soft cake, vanilla pudding, whipped cream and fruit…there’s something for everyone in this Irish dessert!
#9: Irish Eggs Benedict
I frankly like the idea of the English muffin being torn here. That way I can dig right in and eat up all that deliciousness without having to take the time to cut it while eating. Great time-saver, Kate! ~ Teresa
Okay, The Day is over, and luckily you have some corned beef leftovers…what should you do? The Southern husband would say make this corned beef version of Eggs Benedict as soon as humanly possible! A creamy cheddar cheese sauce tops off this corned beef deliciousness.
#10: Irish Grilled Cheese
My favorite sandwich-grilled cheese-made with my favorite dairy products-Kerrygold butter and cheese(s)…an Irish blessing in the making! The road will definitely rise up to meet me with this one! Happy St. Patrick’s Day ~ Jeanie
Keep the Irish festivities going with this scrumptious sandwich, packed with Irish cheddar (and you can add some leftover corned beef to it as well if you like!)
I hope this gives you some delicious inspiration for The Day! And I’ll sign off with a picture of my young Irish self kissing the Blarney Stone…
…which if you are familiar with the legend of the Blarney Stone and if you have met me, explains a LOT. 😁😁
Slainte! ☘️☘️,
Kate 💚
