This Irish Mashed Potato dish or the Irish call it Colcannon, is my most favorite of mashed potatoes. This is a very classic recipe and is rich, creamy, and buttery. We have added some bacon and fresh green onions, to put it over the top! The flavor of this recipe is fabulous and I could really make a meal from this one dish. Our family will line up for a serving or two of these special potatoes.

Grandma's Irish Potato Cakes recipe has been in my family as long as I can remember. I remember my Mother, Aunts and my Grandma saying be sure and don't throw out the left over potatoes, because they wanted to make the potato cakes. It is a great recipe for left over potatoes and the fun part for a kid helping Grandma cook is you mix these with your hands. It really takes no time to make the potato cakes and they are absolutely the ultimate Irish comfort food!
