Luck of the Irish

Being mostly of Irish decent, I thought I would dedicate this month to Irish recipes. Looking at the Irish recipes and the recipes that I grew up on, they are almost similar, but over the years, the recipes have become Americanized. However, Several years ago, when I had an Ethnic party, I was looking up some recipes from England, Ireland, and Scotland for this is where most of my ancestors came from. I found this one recipe that caught my eye. It is Colcannon. This became one of my favorites because it is made with potatoes, and I love potatoes! So I would love to share with you.
